​​​NEW ZOOM Workshops for 2023
Free for all members

May 4, 2023 6pm-8pm
Around the World with Storytelling
​

Storytelling is an integral part of the early childhood classroom- learning is both more efficient and more memorable when the lesson is conveyed through a story. Young children live through their imaginations, which makes stories so profoundly nourishing for their hearts and souls. Fairy tales especially captivate young children because these stories mirror the developmental struggles of children who are transitioning out of early childhood. In this workshop, participants will travel worldwide, exploring the magic of storytelling.

During this workshop participants will:
Review the stages of cognitive development
Compare concrete vs. abstract thinking
Learn how to connect storytelling to teach concepts
Create plans for using storytelling and fairy tales in their own classroom setting

Instructor: Carrie Becker
