Wow! You guys are amazing! I love all of the ideas, and won't hesitate to read to this class! If you have any more thoughts, especially any more specific books for that group, I'd love to hear them. I especially like the idea of reading something larger over the course of a few weeks. Any thoughts on a novel that might work for this?

Speaking of prediction-type stories, * While Standing on One Foot: Puzzle Stories and Wisdom Tales from the Jewish Tradition byNina Jaffe, * Brainteasers from Jewish Folklore by Rosalind Charney Kaye, and * a series of books by George Shannon include Jewish folktales along with folklore from other traditions all give the listener/reader a chance to guess something before the solution is revealed. The Hungry Clothes and Other Jewish Folktales (Folktales of the World) by Penina Schram has some good stories. And lots of picture books have stories that are much more meaningful to older children and even adults. Try book-talking a few related books or reading a few versions of the same folktale and asking them to compare, contrast, and say which ones they like most or least. For example, stories related to Rabbi Nachman's "The Treasure" appear in at least three books: * The Treasure by Uri Shulevitz * Captain Jiri and Rabbi Isaac by Marilyn Hirsh (Two guardian angels mix up their tasks and tell the wrong person where to find treasure. Usually the guard who tells the poor man about his own dream gets no reward. Although in Shulevitz's The Treasure, he is sent a jewel. In this story, Captain Jiri and Rabbi Isaac maintain their friendship and help each other's followers.) * The Pedlar of Swaffham by Kevin Crossley-Holland (A man dreams, travels to London, talks to a guard, returns home, digs more than once, becomes very rich and donates money to restore part of his local church in Swaffham, Norfolk, which has two pews with carvings that seem to memorialize him. The church is real; the story seems to be about a real person, although the story itself is described as a legend.) Rose Myers Fairfield, CT Stories are how we make sense of the world. ________________________________ From: Janice Lieberman <jlieber...@hdsaa.org> To: Etta Gold <eg...@tbam.org>; "bgeph...@comcast.net" <bgeph...@comcast.net>; "hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu" <hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu> Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 5:38 PM Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Curriculum Suggestions for 3-5 grade?

Since this age means moving beyond my reading stories aloud to them, I?m wondering if anyone has any suggestions for activities, books that might work for discussion, or other ideas for what I might do with the kids.? ?Their classes will be working with Year 5 of the CHAI curriculum. ? Any suggestions would be very welcome! ? Thanks ?

I had several 4th grade classes that would want to hear the same stories over and over -- just like younger grades. Once I overheard an older student telling a younger one that he was really in for a treat because in 4th Grade they got to hear Chelm stories! They love being read to and I think they miss the experience at that age.
