Lesson Comments
I introduced my magic prop bag and played a game. I would introduce a new item, such as a tube or jug or box, and we took turns naming a character and using that prop. Next, Teddy used the props to create his own ideas. He built some unique sculptures and told a little story as he built.

Lesson Comments
Today, I introduced myself to Teddy and learned about what he enjoys about drama and stories. I showed him each of my story card boxes and he created a short story with each of the 3 boxes. He really enjoyed sorting the cards and then using the remaining cards to interact with each other. He found so many unique ways for the characters to interact with each other along with the various setting cards.
