Story Workshop
Today the grade 1/2 class started story workshop.
Story workshop supports the student's literacy and social-emotional development. They are invited to find and tell stories from their real or imaginary lives using a variety of mediums. Storytelling plays an integral role in language development and strongly supports children to see themselves as storytellers and authors of their own ideas. As the children gain confidence in their roles as storytellers and authors, they begin to express their ideas through written symbols and alphabet letters using inventive spelling. Story workshop supports this process of early writing by immersing children in an environment rich with print and meaningful language while giving them daily opportunities to try out their new skills. Support and encouragement is given to each student's progress with feedback from both teacher and peers while recognizing and celebrating their continued growth.
Below is the process that a grade one student demonstrated today while engaged in story workshop.
