Exploring the World Through Stories is an immersive and interactive learning experience for kids that introduces them to new tales and different cultures around the world! Through traditional oral storytelling, folktales, crafts, movement and games, children will have the opportunity to explore and learn about different countries, their people, and their customs. They will be entertained by fascinating stories from various regions and engage in creative, accompanying activities that bring these stories to life. Finally, kids will learn how stories are constructed and told for the ages, and how some of the epics we've all come to know originated and evolved over time.
Teacher Lisa’s favorite sound is a child’s laugh. She worked for over 20 years as a children’s librarian in Denver Metro public libraries. She's raised two children and is a new grandma. Lisa loves reading, playing, singing, doing crafts, laughing and learning with kids. She believes lifelong learning begins in childhood and aims to learn something new every day. She did her first skydive for her 55th birthday!
Lisa holds a Master's degree in Library and Information Science (MLIS) from the University of Denver, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from George Mason University. She has had coursework and training in working with children, worked as a nanny in Austria, and is an oral storyteller volunteer through the Spellbinders organization. Her hobbies include postcrossing (combining the internet with postcards!), children's literature, traveling, and learning about world cultures.
Lisa is vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19.
