Fairy Tales & Fractured Fairy Tales

We had a really fun week comparing and contrasting fairy tales with the twisted/fractured fairy tale. It was a great way to introduce point of view!

In Ninja Red Riding Hood, the wolf takes up yoga to calm down at the end of the story and the kids started meditating... I was laughing so hard! With a full moon week, I'll take any meditation I can get! :)

We also learned a new sight word game and we're challenging Ms. Grever's friends this week!

Lastly- It's Autism Awareness month and we made puzzle pieces that celebrate our differences that are hanging in the front office. This one made me quite happy...

Although I'd like to think that it's a similarity! "I like to read at Ms. Ham's table."

-Math: measurement & subtraction review- What do you have to do before you can measure length or height or width? (line the ends up!)
