Last week some of our kids were involved in a long and involved imaginative play about a witch that ate little children. Really dark themes and they were all so into it.jennyhttp://progressiveearlychildhoodeducation.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-48282544770722992742011-04-10T12:51:55.636-07:002011-04-10T12:51:55.636-07:00I had a boy one time who used storytelling to proc...I had a boy one time who used storytelling to process the unexpected death of a teen-age cousin he was close to. For several months, he told stories that explored traffic accidents and grief. We wrote them all down and sent copies home. And then, they faded away.Barbara Zaborowskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-22064020868338910792011-04-10T09:53:34.157-07:002011-04-10T09:53:34.157-07:00I love what they say and your take on them, I can ...I love what they say and your take on them, I can see the kids giggling to each others' stories. One of my children wanted to write a letter to his dad the other day, because he missed him... he started out the usual "dear dad, I miss you" then went on to say, "here's the funny part, Ms. Saya, 'I hope you get along with your friends and don't get in time-outs.'" and he started giggling uncontrollably, so did his friends who were listening to it around us. <br />I guess the idea of his dad who put him in time-outs sometimes, might get the time-outs from his boss, was funny to them. <br /><br />I also like how they use random word like "decompose" in their stories. I can easily assume you were doing that pumpkin decomposing project around that time of story telling! :)Sayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696043555939052042noreply@blogger.com
