Light stories

The kids have used the overhead projector regularly, but today was a day when they created individual stories and performed them for the rest of us, all of their own accord.

She designed her own images for her story.
The story started with central characters and included a lengthy narrative.

We talked about how each person has her/his own style of storytelling.  Some narrate, some let the images tell the story.

 Some stories were told visually, with the child arranging the images, then changing the images to create a new scene.  Below you can see the change from day to night.

All children are artists, teeming with creative energy.  They naturally see things in unique, unconventional ways.  It is such a gift to be present to such wonder and beauty.
