The Stories I Tell: A kindred Spirit
http://storyvalues.blogspot.com/2011/06/kindred-spirit.html
The Stories I Tell. The day to day adventures of a storyteller. Wednesday, June 8, 2011. This morning, I had the pleasure of telling myths from ancient civilizations to 75 grade 5 students in Georgetown. After telling the first story, the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone, a quiet looking boy with glasses, sitting at the back of the room asked me if I knew the myths of Perseus, Theseus, Hercules and Athena. His eyes brightened when he heard that I knew them and loved them. December 4 - December 11.

The Stories I Tell. The day to day adventures of a storyteller. Monday, May 16, 2011. Today while telling Greek myths to several grade 5 classes, I met a little grade 2 boy in the hallway. I know his teacher and she has been playing the Storyvalues. Stories all year to her grade 2 class. His teacher introduced us and when (Jason) heard my voice he recognized me as the 'storyteller' that he hears on his computer. Each month I play a Storyvalues. In now available for families so little kids, like the littl...

The Stories I Tell. The day to day adventures of a storyteller. Thursday, April 7, 2011. Kindergarten Calendar Time and Morning Radio. Yesterday, I drove to a small town just outside on Hamilton, ON to tell stories to the primary students of an elementary school. The drive is a little over an hour and I listened to the morning news on the radio as I drove. Mrs See went on to inquire about the weather. A little girl looked out the window and then returned to the calendar and stuck symbols of a rain cl...

The Stories I Tell. The day to day adventures of a storyteller. Saturday, April 16, 2011. The Tall Tale Tellers. Yesterday stationed in a beautiful, gigantic 1920s built school library, I told stories to four groups of students. Each group consisted of three separate classes of kindergarten, grade one, grade two and grade three, mixed together. In between sessions throughout the day, I read the pile of books I had gathered and even found two stories I'd like to develop and tell. I always love meeting thi...

The Stories I Tell. The day to day adventures of a storyteller. Thursday, April 21, 2011. I'm From Sri Lanka Too! After the presentation, several children rushed up to me with huge smiles, exclaiming, “I’m from Sri Lanka too! 8221; Cultural identity is another powerful impact stories can have on listeners. We all can easily identify with the positive characters and universal situations that are presented in multicultural stories, but it’s an added treat.

The Stories I Tell: The Sound of Listening
http://storyvalues.blogspot.com/2011/11/sound-of-listening.html
The Stories I Tell. The day to day adventures of a storyteller. Tuesday, November 8, 2011. The Sound of Listening. One of my favourite sounds is the silence that settles over an assembly of children collectively listening to a great story. Yesterday as I told a story from Japan, the air filled with expectation, concentration and determination as 300 children listened to the adventures of a young boy entering a haunted monastery, armed only with a paintbrush and his creativity. December 4 - December 11.
