Once Upon A Time...


Once upon a time there was a school called Yavneh. In Yavneh, there was a kindergarten class called Gan Aleph! The children in Gan Aleph loved to read and tell stories. One day, some children decided that they wanted to write their own books. Each child brainstormed ideas about whom they might like to write about. Their morah taught them all about story plots, settings, characters and more. Every day, they learned a mini-lesson related to letters, sounds, punctuation etc. in order to help develop their writing skills. They wrote and wrote and wrote. Ayelet wrote about a puppy she wanted to keep while Ilana wrote about a princess who lost the key to her castle! Avishai wrote about a mouse who got scared in a storm while Aiden wrote about a boy who wanted to become a fast runner. The day had come when their stories were finished and they were ready to read them with their peers. Each child sat with a friend and shared what they had written. The children in Gan Aleph were truly enjoying their writing experience and could not wait to start their second book. They each felt so proud of their finished product!
The End

  2. It's amazing how quickly their writing skills grow when the children are writing about something that comes from their hearts. Hope that everyone will enjoy reading their storybooks as they are sent home!
