🎉 Big Learning Moments in Mrs. Love's Class! Mrs. Love's students explored why storytelling is such an important part of culture and family. 🗣️✨ Through a dynamic "Follow the Leader Lines" activity (Lead4Ward), they shared their answers with partners, received feedback, and practiced presenting themselves confidently—complete with a handshake! 🤝 This engaging lesson not only built communication and interpersonal skills but it also prepared them for their first storytelling project they’ll be writing this week. 📖👏 We’re shaping great storytellers here at CHS! Stay tuned for their amazing work! 🐯 #TPND #WeAreCarroll #StorytellingSkills
