The Storytelling Study: Understanding Ourselves and Others Through Storytelling
Full text linkStudy on oral storytelling in early childhood education is ample. Study on oral storytelling in the elementary grades, however, is limited. This is likely due to the connection between storytelling and dramatic play, a creative and imaginative exercise that loses value in many classrooms as children grow. The emergent themes across the developmental stages of seven, eight, and nine year olds illustrate the need for and power of storytelling in second and third grade classrooms. The Storytelling Study is an interdisciplinary, multimodal curriculum in which children foster deeper understandings of themselves and others through the exploration of oral storytelling. The study begins with an examination of the oral storytelling traditions of Indigenous and Black communities. Then, students learn about family stories and practice telling their own family stories to others. Lastly, inspired by early childhood educator Vivian Paley’s work, students write and act out their own imaginative stories. Through this study, teachers will support their students in the hard work of identity formation, as well as the development of empathy and literacy and social studies understandings

Loose Parts in the Outdoor Play Space
Full text linkLoose parts play is a play practice that prioritizes a child’s ability to self-direct and intrinsically motivate above all else. It does so by utilizing decontextualized items that are flexible in their usage and allow children to project their own ideas, imaginations, and usages onto the items, rather than by allowing the items to dictate usage to the children. The booklet that Sam Shapiro created, Loose Parts in the Outdoor Play Space, provides a tool that professionals can utilize in support of their own loose parts programs. It provides an overview of the state of play, an examination of what loose parts are, a detailed catalog of 20 loose parts, and resources that can be used for furthering one’s self and program. This booklet is designed to be accessible to all, but is specifically written about loose parts in an outdoor school based play setting. This booklet works as an effective tool, and one that works well when paired with other resources. The photos included in the booklet were taken exclusively by the author and selected exclusively by the author
