The Children's Room

Spanish Story Saturdays

We had our first monthly Spanish Storytelling Saturday on Oct. 7. The participants -- ranging in age from babies through senior citizens -- listened as storyteller Laura Kleinmann used a felt board and her considerable acting skills to tell a tale -- all in Spanish -- from El Salvador. Kleinmann, the media specialist at the Oyster Bilingual Elementary School in Washington, D.C., will present her program on the first Saturday of each month. The next program is on Nov. 4, from 10:30-11:15. No need to register, but do plan to come! The program is for all ages, and you don't need to know any Spanish to enjoy it, thanks to Kleinmann's highly visual storytelling style.
