CURRICULUM

 


 

Ideas for Connecting
Storytelling to Your Curriculum

Do you observe January as National Reading Month?
If so, any storytelling program is a perfect fit, especially "Folklore and Mythology."

Do you observe President's Day in February?
"It Happened in the White House" is about the eight presidents from Virginia and their wives.

Or how about Women's History Month in March?
"Spy!" is about a woman in the Civil War, and "Steadfast and Spirited" is about women in the Revolutionary War.

Wonder how life science connects to storytelling?
You'll know when you see "Whale Tales and Mermaids."

Virginia SOLs for 2nd & 3rd Grade cover Egypt-first let the students see "Tales of Ancient Egypt"--and Greece-bring them "Quilting Aesop" or "Perseus."
