Sharing Circle Series (SCS)

Grade 1 : Sharing Circles Series (SCS)

This year the Grade 1s will be hosting A STORY TELLING Sharing Circle Series (SCS), where we welcome community members, parents, and family members (i.e., grandparents, aunts, uncles) to share a story.

All cultures pass on stories from generation to generation. This is open to any and all who feel comfortable sharing, contributing and teaching about his/her own culture.

We are hoping to make real-life connections through our social studies and literacy programs, where our students can learn, see, hear and feel first hand that learning takes place all around us, everyday, everywhere! We want to foster the idea that we all have a voice in our community (regardless of what language we speak) in a variety of spaces.

Our SCS will take place monthly in the library. Some possible themes include: Favourite Bedtime Stories, Fables and Fairy Tales, Your Own Culture, Songs and Rhymes and Inspirational Art, Holidays, Favourite childhood story... just to name a few.  

We welcome a variety of languages, especially those spoken at home. It is a great learning opportunity for all of our students to experience.

Ways of sharing can look like: oral storytelling, reading a book, bringing in items that illustrate a story, and sharing pieces of a story.

We are looking forward to this new learning! If you have any questions, please call or email your child’s teacher.

Sincerely,

The Grade 1 Team
