Story Bird

Our budding authors have been busy writing many narratives using a fabulous program called Story Bird. This online program allows us to use a variety of unique art work to inspire creative storytelling. Mrs Baldwin showed me how to use it and I was hooked. I wrote a story that I had been hatching in my head for many years. It was based on a true event.

After I had shown the class my efforts, they were eager and excited to begin their own books. We are still discussing the importance of checking our writing for for accuracy before publishing and in doing so, our editing skills are getting a real work out. Students check each others work before asking me for final check.

Here are some completed stories to share and possibly get you inspired too. I hope your child has shown you the site and you can checkout how easy it is to bring their imaginations to life.

 

We were so enthusiastic about this fabulous program that we sat with our CAT buddies to teach them how to make great stories. We are still working on these as our buddies had a very tiring week of swimming lessons too. Stay tuned for more.
