Story time is one of the most important moments in our rhythm each day. These oral stories activate the right side of children's brains as they imagine and create the story in their minds. This right brain activation helps the child to be a better reader later in life, as they are able to create a picture of what they are reading in their imaginations. Our stories are full of rich language, imagery, and repetition. After I have told the story for a period of time, the children are given the opportunity to tell the story themselves. We dress up and everyone gets an opportunity to play at least one character.
We have also been working on the letter R this week. The children had the opportunity to form an R with yarn, paint, sand and chalk. We later did a beautiful form drawing of a roving river with rapids and rocks. Oh, and don't forget a yummy snack of red raspberries!
