A NOTE FOR TEACHERS
It is time for your first Story Quest Mission!
First, we recommend printing a copy of the graphic organizer above for each of your kids to use to outline their story after listening. Then, all you need to do is find a few minutes during language arts studies this week, gather your students around a device with a speaker, and click on the audio link above for your first audio adventure!
Story Quest is designed to give you the flexibility to use our materials as much as is helpful and to integrate the episodes into your own regular teaching practice as much as you choose. If you have time and they are enjoying it, feel free to move on to Mission #2. Otherwise, we’ll follow up next week with a reminder to move on. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to email us with any questions or concerns.
