This guide presents some of the ways I use story with various age groups, and how I integrate it across the curriculum.
Welcome to Curriculum Connections
When people hear these stories they imagine them and their creativity is enlivened.
When a child hears a story, the story becomes theirs. Using storie
s from the various cultures of children in the classroom generates the students' pride in their own cultural identity. It also encourages a respect for and greater understanding of the cultures of fellow classmates.
Furthermore, when students connect with a story and have equity in it, their involvement leads them to explore thoughts and ideas that connect to other curriculum areas.
