Setting the stage

We have a rich heritage of stories from right here in our own country.





Since this session involved telling all Native American stories, I set the stage by playing the cedar flute. My visits to schools include giving teachers ideas for incorporating the stories the children have heard into the curriculum. I now send a teacher packet ahead of my visit, with sample lessons in math, language arts, science, social studies, music, art, etc. These lessons are designed to teach core skills in a way that is fun and motivating for students.
