love those drama work stations!

Recently, in Lee County, VA I saw several wonderful drama work stations in action!

This kindergarten class is retelling a familiar story with felt pieces. After working with it several days in a row, the teacher puts the book and the pieces in the drama station for kids to use for practice.









In this photo, kindergarten students retell
The Great Big Enormous Turnip with pieces
that have velcro stuck on the back. They use
the book to help tell the story.




















Here, a kindergarten child reads the Mrs. Wishy Washy big book and then dresses up to play the role of the main character. Love the props that make this book come alive for the kids! Just add a wash tub, a sponge for scrubbing, and farm animals and watch those kids tell that story.



Guess I'm revved up by these ideas, since I just returned from a trip to NYC this past weekend. While there, I worked with teachers in West Babylon on Long Island. They were so excited about literacy work stations in K-6 and are interested in getting more out of small groups. For fun, I spent one day in Manhattan and another in the Hamptons!


Stay tuned to my blog. I finally figured out how to insert more than one picture. Hooray! Now to work on formatting.
Baby steps.

Happy Reading,
Debbie

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my
4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and
screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Its such as you read my mind! You appear to understand so much about
this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I feel that you could do with a few % to pressure the message home a little bit, but instead of that,
this is fantastic blog. An excellent read. I'll definitely be back.

Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just
wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If
so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything
you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.

Hiya! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able
to resolve this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share.

Cheers!

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I
never found any interesting article like yours.
It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
