Fairy Tale Photo Post...

We've launched the most ADORABLE 

Balanced-Literacy Fairy Tale Unit! 

I couldn't help myself...I had to post some photos from the first few days of our unit. 

I am splitting fairy tales up into two weeks (which will make for one LARGE unit) 

1. Princesses/Royalty (Cinderella, Rupunzel, etc...)

2. Folk Stories (3 Little Pigs, Goldilocks, Etc..)

Here are some PRINCESS/ROYALTY Sneak Peaks! 

Here is how we are keeping track of our fairy tale features. Each time we read a story we check it off here and in our fairy tale folders.

A follow up for shared writing: 

Writing Invitations for the Royal Ball 

Look at bottom left: She included a menu. LOL

After reading Cinderella and Sidney Rella, we made glass slippers and sneakers. Then, we decided  that we needed to have a "chat" with Ms. Cinderella. =) 

Shared Writing: We practiced writing summaries and identifying the most important parts. We negotiated these parts together and I was the scribe. 

Mapping the Royal Kingdom! 

Point of View: We ALWAYS think about the main characters...lets take some time to think about the other characters' points of view! 

 The Cinder-Stories we'll study. 

Rumpelstiltskin Math Activity! 

We graphed our names and compared them to the length of Rumpelstiltskin! 

I have had SO much fun creating these so far, and I'm only three days in! The unit will have much more balanced literacy packed in. 

Until then,
