Skyping with a Celebrity!

Wednesday, November 5th  The Munchkins enjoyed a special treat as we 'skyped' with actress/storyteller Mrs.  P!  Mrs.  P.'s message came across loud and clear as she shared with students the importance of using their imagination to create stories.  Mrs.  P. suggested 'the word game' to activate imaginations and create stories.  For example, think of a word: Cat (What does this word make you think of?) Dog (What does this word make you think of?) Playing fetch Mrs. P. urged the children to write down their word associations and use these words to create a story!
We will try the word game in December when we begin our creative writing unit.  Thank you Mrs.  P. for this fabulous idea and thank you Mrs.  Klipfel for organizing this skype visit!

The students are responding to a question asked by Mrs.  P. by raising their hands 

Mrs.  P. talks with a student as she weaves a tale about his hedgehog.

A very animated Mrs.  P. shares her secrets with the children of how she creates wonderful stories, using her imagination.

The children had a wonderful time visiting with Mrs.  P.!
