Storytelling Dolls

The Discoverers are learning that each culture had a way of telling stories and teaching their families about traditions. Today we learned about Helen Cordero and the Storytellers. Each student was given a lump of modeling magic and turned it into an animal or a person who would tell a story. We learned from our research that most of the Native American stories included a lesson to be learned.

Some lessons included: Never disobey your mother
Never brag
People should cooperate
Always tell the truth
Never give up
The most important thing is to never run away
