VIP Day was a great opportunity for students to share what they have been working on in Language Arts class with their visitors. Students also got a chance to play a verbal story telling game using the Scholastic Story Starter on the Promethean Board. The Story Starter looks like a slot machine filled with silly story ideas. Students spun the wheel for the initial idea and then added more details to create a story with their visitors. The story starter can be used for verbal or written storytelling. Just type in a name and click on the grades 4-6 button (the prompts can be enjoyed by all middle school grades even though they are labeled as grades 4-6).
Here is the link if you are interested using the Scholastic Story Starter with your child at home:
