            Bayville Kids Use Imagination
            
            Kindergartners Build Stories
            With Blocks at Bayville Elementary
            
            Kindergartners in Meryle Alstadter's class at Bayville Elementary are participating in a program that develops their critical thinking and problem-solving skills through imaginative thought processes. With the help of ESL teacher Laura Marcario, the class created a story using character such as tigers and giraffes. Students developed the beginning of a story, were presented with problems, and used building blocks to help find solutions to their adventure. Once the youngsters formed an ending to their story, they presented the chapter to their class.
