Fairy Tales: Cinderella

Today we finished off our fairy tale unit. I am so sad the week is over because I LOVE fairy tales and there are so many more good ones we did not have time to read!

Today was all about royalty in fairy tales! We started off the morning making our very own crowns and tiaras. We had a crowning ceremony and each student was presented with their crown to wear. We discussed waht it means to be royalty, and how you have to set a good example and be a good leader. We all agreed that as long as you were wearing your crown, today you would be referred to by your prince and princess name. We had a ball with this! Plus, it really promoted good behavior. Double win!

We read the story Cinderella, then looked at each of the elements to see if it qualified as a fairy tale. It did!

hahaha oh my gosh please ignore the fact that I spelled prince wrong! We were in a bit of a rush so everyone could get started working on our daily project. oops!

Next, everyone set to work writing their own original fairy tale starring themself as a prince or princess. Their work turned out so cute!
