In this ongoing class I read a high-quality picture book and have fun while we learn about characters, setting, and plot! I ask learners questions to keep them engaged. You can join or leave anytime.

Hi Learners! During story time I read a high-quality picture book, or two, stopping frequently to ask students questions and to have students do physical movements, if appropriate for the story, to keep them engaged. I also use silly voices and singing to make our time together enjoyable. Then we finish with a brief discussion about the story to make real-life connections to the story. This helps students practice responding to a story. This is a skill they will build on as they grow....
Learning goals: During story time we discuss: ~beginning/middle/end of the story (plot) ~big problem (conflict) ~characters ~setting ~themes ~practice responding to stories by drawing, writing
I have a B.S. in Elementary Education and over 25 years of teaching experience.
Homework Offered
I encourage students to use the drawing, writing, or simple art craft they created to "retell" the story to a family member, pet, or favorite stuffed animal. This helps students retain the skills they learned and build confidence in their ability to learn.Assessments Offered
Students leave story time feeling confident about the response (drawing or "writing") they created because I give specific, positive feedback and encouragement to each student.Grades Offered
Learners are not required to draw or "write," but if you think your child would enjoy it, please have: ~Blank piece paper ~crayons/markers
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
