Fairy Tale Freebie. . .

I have finally posted the "Happily Ever After" unit to TpT.  My kids loved it, and it was one of my favorite activities of the year!  I'm including a freebie in this post-a "fairy tale" journal which we worked on throughout the unit.  

Our newspaper is still a work in progress.  It will be done next week.  I can't wait to share some of the hilarious police reports, advertisements, and advice letters which my kiddos wrote!

 

I'm also working on a fractured fairy tale unit...here are two of my favorite books to use with fractured tales!  

I hope you've enjoyed your weekend so far...here's the fairy tale journal!

Open House 2011

One of my students gave me that cute little "p" sign.  She knows I love polka dots so her fingerprints are all over it!  I love it!

Our theme was fairy tales so this book was displayed near the sign in table.  We're also working a "fairy tale" newspaper this week.  It's a work in progress.

Here are the castles that we made.  Each student also created a fairy tale math problem and used math strategies to solve.  Below the castles, each student wrote about if they were the "king" or "queen" of our school.  They also decorated a crown with jewels. 

This was something new that I had never done before, but the families really enjoyed it.  It was an entire wall filled with fairy tales and fractured tales that we've been working on.  These are just a few highlights!

Fairy Tale Unit-Happily Ever After

This week we've been working on traditional fairy tales.  The kids have absolutely loved it (even the boys) Next week will be fractured tales.  I'm working on a unit with lots of writing, art, math, and fairy tale fun!  Open house is Monday, so I'll post more pics once all of the bulletin boards and displays are complete! Here are a few of my favorite things. . .
