Bethany says... Today was awesome! We were able to observe Debutots classes and they were very inspiring. I love the way the children spoke with accents. I will write more later. My time on the computer is up! Later y'all!
Jill says....Today we observed an interactive storytelling class for infants and pre-schoolers, called Debutots. www.debutots.co.uk Debutots is actually where we got our idea for our grant. What more perfect thing to learn about than bringing stories to life when you teach Pre-K? We oberved 3 different sessions, taught by Debutots teacher, Jennifer. I was hoping that Debutots was going to be exactly what we were looking for, and it did not disappoint. One of the owners of Debutots writes short stories (a different one each week), and they are told by the Debutots teacher with different voices and actions. The second time she tells the story, she has the children choose a character in the story and they act it out. All of this is within 30 minutes, and I definitely feel inspired to write some of my own stories to tell to my students. I really feel that now I have a good idea of how to be a storyteller--for young children atleast. The best part of telling stories to children is that the sillier you are, the better. It was amazing to watch 3 and 4 year-olds act the story out and see how enthusiastic they were. A big thank you to Jennifer for giving us the opportunity to observe and learn from her.
