I am excited to share this article that was published in The Jewish Educator. It is based on a session I presented at the NewCAJE conference. I spoke about storytelling in the ECE classroom, and as you know, this subject is close to my heart. The talk had additional significance because I was a member of the first cohort of the RISE Storytelling Initiative of NewCAJE. Some of that learning and experience was incorporated into the presentation, and you’ll find it in this published piece. Enjoy the read and let’s connect. I would love to know how you incorporate storytelling into your life.
Tishrei is coming!
As we approach the Tishrei holidays I want to share a story I tell using my Rosh Hashanah feltboard illustrations. I recorded a video of the story and posted it on Facebook and I hope it inspires you to tell your own Rosh Hashanah stories.

For Sukkot I have a set of feltboard illustrations that includes a build your own sukkah and pieces to teach how to assemble your own lulav and etrog. This is also a useful tool for learning numeracy skills.
