Bring your favorite stuffed animal to listen to a story about how the 12 Chinese animals of the zodiac were chosen! We will begin class by introducing each student and their stuffed animal.  Next, I will tell the children the story, The Great Race by Dawn Casey.  I will be sharing my screen to show storytelling images. Students will also have a chance to help create a group story about helping the zodiac animals after the great race.  The class story will include the children's stuffed animals and some dumplings.  Students can either draw a dumpling with the teacher or color a dumpling coloring page during this part of the story.

This class is designed to help the children to get a chance to develop very basic story creation and public speaking in a group.  I will be helping the students engage with and progress the story. Students are expected to be respectful of others and come ready to have fun. My hope is for everyone to participate in a way that is most comfortable to them and in a way that allows each student to get the most out of our time together. 

A coloring page will also be provided for students to color during the story or after class. To print, please select each picture from our "Classroom" page, then download and print. 

-Class may go over time-

**Policy**
Per Outschool policy, if a student is more than 10 minutes late, it will be considered a missed class and not eligible for a refund.  If no students have arrived at a class by 12 minutes after the start time I will end the class. If a student needs to cancel class, I will offer a reschedule when possible or issue a refund, as long as I am notified more than 24 hours in advance. In the case of a teacher scheduling conflict, I will offer to reschedule the class or issue a refund for the missed class. 
Thank you so much for respecting my time. :o)
