Once Upon A Time

Oh how much fun we had learning all about Fairy Tales. We learned that Fairy Tales usually start with Once Upon A Time, they usually deal with magic, the characters are usually Queens, Kings, Princes, and Princesses , and sometimes the animals even talk!

On Monday we started our week by reading the 3 Little Pigs and we learned about ordinal positions like First, Second,Third or First, Next, and Last. We recreated the story by building the 3 Little Pigs houses. 

On Tuesday we watched a video of There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly then we retold the story with our own little old lady. 
Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
Not my exact, but some how I forgot to take a picture, but it is the same idea just different pictures
On Wednesday we watched a video of The Gingerbread Man and created our own gingerbread cookies. We decorated out cookies with crayon icing and then water colored the brown which created a resist affect causing the crayon colors to really stand out. 

On Thursday we watched Jack and The Beanstalk: A Fractured Fairy Tale which is a hilarious version of the original story. If you ever watched Rocky and Bullwinkle as a a kid you may have seen this and other fractured fairy tales and if you have never seen them I highly suggest you Google them because they are so funny! If you find them make sure you watch the Rapunzel one it is the best! 

On Friday we watched Cinderella: A Fractured Fairy Tale. After watching the story we create our own Fairy Godmother wands and everyone described what they would wish for if thy had a fairy godmother. 

This is a great wish if I do say so myself!

For jobs this week we made quail Q's

Quilt q's

We searched through uppercase and lowercase magic coins and colored in the letter when we found it

Sorted uppercase/lowercase letters and letters and numbers

And we measured giant hands and feet and then compared and measured our hands and feet. 

Oh and one more thing! We can't forget that we learned that everyone always lives
HAPPILY EVER AFTER in Fairy tales!
