We all know that children learn in different ways. Mrs. Gari Laminack and the ladies of Free Spirit Preschool know how to make learning fun and memorable. Several of your children may have come home last week really excited about learning the letter "P". Part of this excitement comes from a very special circle time featuring, yours truly, James Abram, professional photographer and storyteller extraordinaire.
Almost 8 years ago, when our son was in preschool at Free Spirit, James volunteered to come in and read to the kids during story-time. His unique style and storytelling ability were an instant hit with the kids and teachers alike. This story has become a favorite request at church activities and around the campfire. Here's a peek of circle time for the letter "P".
So if your kids came home trying to shake their cheeks and blow something down, you know the reason. I wish I could capture the laughter that went all the way down to their toes, the giggles that made them throw back their heads and the excitement that made them wiggle and squirm on their mats. After story-time you couldn't contain them anymore. They all jumped up to tell Mr. James something about themselves. One had no front teeth, one had new puppies and one had a visit from an elephant that sat on their house.
After many high fives, elbow bumps and fists bumps Mr. James had to leave. Until next year when the tradition continues.
