This week we are learning about Fairy Tales! We started off the unit by discussing what makes a fairy tale special and what elements to look for in a story to determine if it is a fairy tale or not.
(sorry about the glare, I had this chart laminated)
Next, we read our first fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood! After reading we filled out this chart to see which of the fairy tale elements were in the story. We determined that Little Red Riding Hood is in fact a fairy tale because it contains each of the 7 elements.
After that each student was able to create their own finger puppet play to practice retelling the story to their friends and family. We used paper bags to create the scenery: one side for the forest, the other side for the grandmother's bedroom.
Finally, everyone created these cute little finger puppets. Some of my friends were disappointed that there was not a finger puppet for the hunter in the story, so using scrap paper they created their own!
These should have come home yesterday in each student's folder. Ask your child to retell and act out the story for you tonight!
