rainy Saturdays

Today it has come to me a feeling of a memory that had long haunt me . This rainy day has the blame of bring it to me today .

I never liked the rain. It's cold and paralyzes us . We do not do the same things a raining day than a sunny day. But I have particular fondness to the rainy Saturdays ... When I was little, those were the days that we was not going to run, skate or play outside with my brother and sisters. But were the ones my father took us to the library. We could spend there all the morning. Reading or listening to the stories we most liked.

I remember how my older sister sat with me and read to me. She loved it and I loved it even more . I especially liked this story:

"Adivina cuánto te quiero"

This was definitely my favorite book.

I enjoyed seeing the pictures and know without anyone telling me it, what was happening. And that is the definition of a favorite book for a child. The one they can most remember. Books that containing stories and pictures or draws that want to be read and seen over and over again. Books whose reading does not tire, on the contrary, they want to be heard night after night.

What did you do on rainy days? Did you go to the library too? Did you have any favorite book as a child? Do you remember the stories people read to you when you was a child?

Here you have the story in order you want to read it. 

storytelling

Have you ever had that pleasant feeling of working hard in a project, put enthusiasm and desire? Enjoy both with it that when you have to expose it you do not even have to study?Something similar happened to me with the activity of the storytelling. I love telling stories. When I look after some children, which is usually quite often, the best part of the work is usually when I tell the story before bedtime. Unfortunately not all parents have the time, and often not the imagination to tell a story to children at bedtime. But fortunately for those children I look after, I enjoy inventing new stories , funny stories and stories that does not go very far from the reality of the children I am looking after.

A couple of years ago, while I was telling one of those stories, I came up with a number of special characters. So special, that today, children still ask me to tell some of those stories. They are not difficult to invent, they always follow the same pattern. More or less as in the story we created for class a few days ago. I will not reveal my stories because I have some other idea in them, but I can assure you that maybe one day you will be in a bookstore, and you will see a book written by me. It's my dream and I hope it happen someday.

Continuing the theme of the story we wrote, I must say that I enjoyed as a dwarf. I had fun and laughed a lot. I was very sorry to miss the stories of all my classmates ... But I'll stick with the good taste that made ​​me see all of us repeating our story.

What do you think of the stories? Do you seem necessary for children or do you think we could live without storytelling?  Would you tend to tell stories?  Do you think you will use the stories when you´ll be in your class?

If you like and enjoy tales like me, there is a place in front of the Retiro Park, in Menéndez Pelayo Street “La bolsa magica”(http://www.labolsamagica.com/index.php). A magic place, where you can go with kids and enjoy learning thought storytelling. I had the opportunity to go once and it is incredible. Children enjoy them a lot.
