We have 15 girls and 4 boys and the girls would tell Disney Princess tales 95% of the time! To be honest, it bugs me a little, and I always tell them: "I'd love to hear YOUR OWN story though." Your post helped me understand the value of non-original stories. Thank you!

I use to incorporate creative writing into my classes with my elementary students, at least once a week. Though not as young and innocent as the little ones, their beginner level of English made for a few quite entertaining reads. In most of the stories, at the end, someone / something "is die". I liked taking suggestions from them for 5 things that had to be in the story and then I just let them roll with it. I always read the stories to my flatmate as we walked home. Those are some of my best memories of my time working with my kids. <br />I'm currently studying foundation phase education and I have a feeling that I will be checking in, here at Teacher Tom, often. Thanks for all of the insights.LiesbetHyunMihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942967392371048111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-51912605663359017772009-06-25T19:08:48.556-07:002009-06-25T19:08:48.556-07:00There are many things I love about preschool.

One day, I'll bring in my video camera to record these priceless memories. I'm so glad I have four more years of this.reshmanoreply@blogger.com
