Podcast Overview
<p>Welcome to Storytime with Teacher Nicole! I'm delighted to share with you the classics reimagined, world fairytales and books with representation.</p><p>My dream is to have a library of stories that meet the children of today and yet still have beautiful language and story plots. </p><br><p>As a teacher (public and Waldorf) for the past 25 years, one of my favorite teaching moments has been when I get to tell stories during storytime. I often memorized the tale, making it much easier to change things as I told it, kind of like when Grandma used to sit in her rocking chair and tell stories late into the night, as the fire blazed and then died out. Some of the changes I've played with over the years were making Briar Rose have dark, luscious, springy hair and beautiful warm umber skin, or the heroine being a warrior Princess instead of a Prince! These little changes made me happy in the telling and I want to share that joy of making the stories speak in a new way with you! One of my recent retellings was The Frog Prince, which in the classic telling has the frog turn into a prince when the princess throws him against the wall in disgust. I changed this to a version where the princess is actually kind and makes the frog a bed on the floor next to hers for three nights and the frog's spell is broken by the princesses kindness instead of anger. </p><p>What we are teaching our children through stories, is giving them a lens into new worlds and situations. Each story they hear can give them a view of the world that is full of healthy relationships, kindness in many forms, representation of all peoples and magical vistas of wonder and awe.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The Twelve Huntsmen
<p>Then she asked if he required any huntsmen, and if he would take all of them into his service. King Ozzymandias looked at her and did not know her, but as they were such handsome fellows, he said: ‘Let us see how well you handle your blades' and he had his best soldiers come and battle with the twelve maidens and the maidens easily won each squirmish. He asked the maidens to then show him how well they knew how to hunt and use their bows. The maidens rode out with the king and each shot they took, a bird or beast was hit, and they had proved that they were fine marksmen. At the end of the day the King said, ‘Yes,’ and that he would willingly take them, and now they were the king’s twelve huntsmen.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
