Storytelling with Children

Story Dictation and Story Acting is a powerful classroom practice. When we invite children to share their stories, we gain insights into their thoughts and values. When we come together to act out children's stories, our classroom community connects and strengthens. Storytelling with children offers another opportunity to include their interests, ideas and exploration while also fostering their imaginations and supporting their social interactions. Join us for an examination of the role of stories in our early childhood programs.

Presenters: Joey Schoen and Ross Thompson

Big Body Rough and Tumble Play

We know that the body is a main vehicle and tool for learning in early childhood, yet we often ask children to "slow down," "stop touching that," or "sit still," because we think/believe/forget (insert your own reasoning here) that very key principle - children need to move to learn. And that includes big, powerful expression from children! During this Gathering, we will look at how big-body AND rough-and-tumble play support key learning areas in early childhood that span beyond just the physical domain.

Presenters: Teaching with the Body in Mind Podcast team: Tom Bedard, Mike Huber, Joey Schoen, Ross Thompson
