What's New In Kindergarten










The children have officially begun their Fairytale unit of study. We have spent the last week discussing what we already know about Fairytales and what they wonder about Fairytales. We will be using this information as a guide throughout our study. As we read each Fairytale, the children will be responding with a Fairytale Feedback form on whether or not they enjoyed the story and why. As a class we will be recording information on each story such as setting, problem/solution, magic used, protagonist (good guys) & antagonists (bad guys), representation of the numbers 3 & 7 (frequently found in Fairytales) and various other traits. We will also be interpreting the stories from different perspectives and discussing whether or not the story would be different from the perspective of the Witch, the Big Bad Wolf or other characters.
