Telling Stories




In yet another attempt to confound the Turtles with math, Carol got out the abacus today, and showed them how to use it for addition and subtraction. They were, once again, not fooled by our wiley ways and managed to get the correct answer. Then, they got together and worked out some problems for themselves,


Some Turtles also discovered a new way to get the cars to go through the tube much faster.


Then, after a tragic tempera paint accident, Tamara decided to use her gory appearance to weave a scary story of mayhem, about The Alligator That Attacked!!" The story was so successfully mortifying, that the Turtles immediately asked for it to be told again.

Another Inside Outside Day brought magnatiles and cars outside, and they were a very popular choice.




Inside, the children continued the process of narrating their storybook. They are very excited to finish and be able to show there families.





At Storytime, Carol read, Sleeping Bobby, a different take on Sleeping Beauty. The Turtles have found that there are many different ways to tell basically the same story.
