In this class the students will learn how to retell four traditional stories with the aid of a story map. Story mapping is a technique that uses a graphic organizer to assist with identifying parts of a story. The students will use a downloaded map to follow along as the story is being told. Then the students will help retell the story using the map as a guide. This is a great way for your child to learn how to tell a story in chronological order. After completing the class students will be able to use their story maps to retell the stories to their family. Day 1: The Three Billy Goats Gruff Day 2: The Gingerbread Man Day 3: The Three Little Pigs Day 4: Goldie Locks and the Three Bears

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I’m Ms. Moira. Recently I found an Autobiography that I wrote when I was in 3rd grade. When answering the question, “What will you be when you grow up?” I answered, “When I grow up I will be a teacher, model, or a rock star!”
Well, one of the three has come true in the literal sense. For over 15 years I taught at childcare centers. I was a toddler teacher, preschool teacher, summer camp teacher, and the Education Coordinator for infant through pre-k students. When my daughter was young, I was a co-leader for her Girl Scout troop. Currently I teach ESL online to children in China and I volunteer in the youth ministry at my church.
Although I was never actually a model or a rock star, this part of my dream has come true in a different way. I strive to be a good role model to all of my students. I model being kind and respectful to everyone I meet. As for being a rock star, I did have my time on stage as a professional puppeteer. I earned my BA in Children’s Theater and Puppetry from Rowan University in NJ. It was during my time in college that I developed a love of sewing. Shortly after graduation I was hired as a puppeteer and costume designer for a local puppet company.
I believe that learning should be fun and hands on! The best way to develop a skill is to practice it. I have experience in sewing, knitting, puppetry, paper crafts, storytelling, and so much more. In my classes I encourage my students through positive guidance and interactions.
For the younger learners look for my preschool Circle Time and Story Time classes. I am looking forward to teaching the next generation of puppeteers. There will also sewing and crafting classes for students who enjoy applied arts.
I’m looking forward to fun and creative classes!
