IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Story Workshop was so great today because I had so many friends writing! Friends were writing books that had so much depth to it. Friends that had built a story using blocks were now writing their story in a blank book. Friends that had used story stones to build stories were now writing their stories down in a blank book. I love it! I see so much passion and natural excitement to tell stories that their books are reflecting it. So excited for this year for so many reasons but to see how their writing develops really thrills me!

Today we played a game called Rhyme Time. We stand in a circle, and in a duck, duck, goose, fashion one child goes around rhyming words with an initial word. When they cannot think of another word that rhymes with their first word they say a totally random word like hamburger. When the children hear that word they have to sit down as fast as possible. The children really loved playing this game today and were disappointed when we had to stop playing. Isn’t it awesome to have a game that is fun, collaborative, and educational!!
