Fractured Fairy Tales

We read lots of different fairy tales this week. They were all different versions of the classic fairy tales we are familiar with. Some of them were very funny!

On Monday, we read about the Three Billy Goats Gruff and made our own bridge. We then paint stamped with animals to make tracks over the bridge. Some friends even drew trolls under the bridge!

We made a Little Red Riding Hood puppets after reading three different versions of the tale. Ask your child to use the puppet to perform one of the stories for you :)

Wednesday we made a Big, Bad Wolf. The paper-tearing required a lot of small motor coordination.

Thursday we read The Interrupting Chicken. If you haven’t read this story before, we recommend you borrow it from the library. It’s very funny and kids love it! We then made a cute interrupting chicken using party blowers

Don't forget that next week, Tuesday is picture day. Everyone will be having graduation photos taken. Wednesday is our field trip to Edgerton Floral & Garden.
