ATHENS, Greece: There’s just 10 minutes left to come up with a story using items scattered on the prep table: Leaves and ferns from the schoolyard, scissor-cut scraps of colored paper, a glue stick, and two hand puppets – a long-tailed squirrel and a blue hedgehog.
When class begins, two teachers put on raspy play-voices and let the puppets, Jo the hedgehog and Joo the squirrel, greet their preschool students – except the desks in front of them are all empty.
Limited time offer:
Just RM5 per month.
