Singing Stories To Sachem Students

From Sachem School District: Fourth-grade students throughout the Sachem Central School District recently enjoyed a visit from award-winning author and storyteller Heather Forest, as she incorporated her singing musical mastery into her folktales.

Delivering a range of folktales from across the world, storyteller Heather Forest seamlessly weaved musical instruments into her stories. Incorporating a guitar and xylophone, she periodically called upon students to join in on the music. Grasping the imagination of each listener, Forest’s visual stories painted a picture as
she guided students through each tale. Teachers were provided with copies of Forest’s books to continue the
folktale fun in future classes.
