After learning to read, we dived right in and started putting our skills to the test! We started reading the Three Little Pigs. We learned about sequencing, story retelling, characters and setting. After that, we went crazy with as many Fairy Tales as we could, Jack In The Beanstalk, Cinderella, The Little Red Hen, The Three Little Bears and many more.
Not only was sharing old-time favorites with my students fun, seeing them reading and actually becoming independent, creative and owning their own work was amazing for me as a teacher! The whole month was perfect! So to top it all off, we (Kindergarten Teachers) decided the best way to celebrate was to have a ball.
The whole day was centered around Fairy Tales. We played games like "Snow White and the Poisoned Apple" and "Sleeping Beauty and the Musical Mats". We had Fairy Tale Centers: (A HUGE shout out to the parents that came in and helped! You are amazing and worth more than gold!) 1)We wished on a star. 2) A Magical Mystery Drawing. 3) Created Fine China! 4) We made wands!
We also had lunch in our classroom on our Fairy Tale Placemats that we created with us! (Can I say that your children did an awesome job? I do hope you will treasure them as I did!!!) Then we taught the other Kindergarten classes a Little Pig song and they taught us one of theirs. (Thanks Mr. "A"! Your song was perfect!!!
Then the day was topped off by an actual dance, yes, I said dance or "Ball". Here are a few of our pictures from our "magical" day! And yes, I can say that I think we will live happily ever after.
The End
