Fairy Tales

Today we began our study of fairy tales and nursery rhymes.  We read Cinderella Penguin this afternoon.  The children loved this version of Cinderella.  Following the story we discussed the characters, setting and the problem that needed to be solved.  The children were excited to learn big terms like character and setting.  We will be using this new vocabulary to discuss other versions of Cinderella that we will read throughout the week.

We are also practicing retelling stories of The Gingerbread Man and Cinderella at our flannel board center.  The children are also sequencing the events of Humpty Dumpty.  Please continue working with your child at home on their star words.  They are a big part of our center time now.  The more practice the better!
