We have been busy reading lots and lots of Fairy Tales and Folk Tales. We have enjoyed getting to know the characters in our stories and imagine far away make-believe places. We have also had the chance to explore Fractured Fairy Tales--Stories with a twist on the classics from the perspective of the main character like The Three Little Wolves and The Big Bad Pig, The Frog Prince Continued and my personal favorite... Goldilocks and the 3 Blairs! As we become more familiar with the parts that make up these types of stories we will explore writing our own.
We have noticed that many Fairy Tales begin with "Once Upon a Time..." and end with "Happily Ever After" (Wouldn't that be nice in real life) :) They many times have good/evil, teach us an important lesson and have characters and animals in them. We will continue to learn more about this genre through readers' theatre, comparing different stories & character studies.
This Thursday we will have our yearly Fairytale luncheon! Join us during lunch if you would like to help serve wolf stew! We will be visiting classes in our costumes to share our "who am I facts!"...more to come!
