Students in 2nd grade recently read the story "The Idea Jar" by Adam Lehrhaupt. The story is about a teacher's jar where story ideas are stored. Throughout the story, the ideas come to life creating chaos until they are combined into new creative ideas! After reading the story, students were able to use ideas from their own minds, or from Mrs. Mowbray's idea jar to create their own stories. The lesson also focused on different types of storytelling, including writing a story, speaking a story, and even drawing a story! The students showed off their creativity and imagination with this fun activity.
