Fairytales

This week we learned about Fairytales. I think a difficult concept for my students to grasp is what makes a story pretend. We talked about how when animals wear clothes, talk, and act like people in stories, that makes it pretend. We read several popular fairytales this week such as The Little Red Hen, The Three Bears, The Gingerbread Man, Jack and the Bean Stalk, and The Three Little Pigs.

For art this week, the students colored a picture of three little pigs and wrote what the problem and solution in the story was. This activity was differentiated by having those that could write full sentences do so and those that had lower writing skills just write a few words.
