For teachers and parents of younger children, the StoryPlace has a great selection of fifteen stories. Each interactive, engaging story has bundled with it an online activity, a take-home activity, a themed suggested reading list, and a parents’ activity.
Themes include animals, babies, bath time, colors, crocodiles, firefighters, fish, gorillas, monkeys, music, pets, shapes, teddy bears, trains, and wheels.
As an example, the first theme - Animals - has with it a story entitled, “Morris’ Special Day.” This is a story about a boy who has lost his pet mouse. As the boy looks for his mouse, he finds a bear, a horse, a sheep, and a dog. Each are introduced both in English and in Spanish.
Afterword you can play an online activity that reinforces the concepts taught in the story.
The take home activity is a Mouse Mask you can make out of paper plates and other easily obtained materials. The themed suggest reading list includes five books you can check out at your local library, such as “Is Your Mama a Llama?” and my favorite, “Why Mosquitos Buzz in People’s Ears.” The Parents’ activity is pictured above, and centers around learning the Spanish names.
