Story Fields at Colegio Arrayanes

On June 14th I visited Colegio Arrayanes in Garin, where I was welcomed by very nice and warm people who helped me create a magical aura around my stories, which ended up "bewitching" all the 1st to 4th form students at this very airy and open school, surrounded by trees.

The students, teachers and I engaged in stories, games and songs, participating and sharing a lovely sunlit afternnon together.

A big thank you hug to Catalina Paso Viola, for making the whole thing possible, and to Paula Del Bretto, Head of the English Department. And above all, thanks Arrayanes people for your warmth and generosity!

So long!

Story Fields and Reading Thinks

On June 12th, I was fortunate enough to be invited to join Reading Thinks at their Book Fair, at St. John's School, in Pilar.

I held a series of eight sessions, run in the morning and afternoon shifts at this very nice, welcoming, cosy and professional-looking kindergarten.

The kids and teachers joined me at the library, which was filled with books, lovely pictures, and natural light, all of which contributed to the magical atmosphere which can only be created by storytelling from the heart.

The SUM hosted the lovely and very colourful Book Fair that Reading Thinks displayed during the whole week, sharing lovely books and powerful stories with the whole of the Kindergarten students, school staff and families.

A huge THANK YOU hug to all the kids, their teachers and the very professional and caring school staff, and a special word of acknowledgement to Lic. Karina Gimenez and Lic. Alejandra Darvique from Reading Thinks for their trust and support.

So long!

Story Fields at Colegio Arlene Fern

Last week I enjoyed some great sessions with 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders at colegio Arlene Fern in Belgrano.

I was welcomed by Karin Meischenguiser, Head of the English Department and a bunch of very nice people who made sure I had everything I needed to make this event as magical and successful as it turned out to be.

The sessions were packed with enthusiastic students, their teachers, other members of the school staff and even parents who joined us at story time!

Thanks for such a lovely afternoon together, filled with stories, and for your warmth and generosity! Thanks Arelene Fern!

So long!

Story Fields at Lenguas Vivas

Last Monday evening I shared an awesome session at Lenguas Vivas, with Griselda Beacon's Childrens' Literature Students, where I am an "adscripta."

All together, we journeyed the imaginary worlds of stories and discoverd their enormous power, as well as the impact stories can have on their audiences, both young and young at heart.

We shared anecdotes, feelings, experiences, songs, comments and, of course, stories - including our favourite ones!

A huge thank you hug to all the students and teachers there, and, once again, THANK YOU Griselda!

So long!
