And acting out the story! *Melts my heart!*
And it’s off to the next fairy tale! We followed suit with the same activities throughout the four weeks of fairy tales so these activities will look similar! I also have videos for each of the teacher days for this week! You can view those videos in THIS post! Here is a look at our story elements poster! You can see for this week we added setting!
Here is a look at one of the blackline follow up sheets for the week! Students were illustrating the setting from the story!
For the The Three Bears we made a retell craft that included a page in the book for each part of the story! This craft did include a bit of prep, but the kiddos loved it!
And we’re off to the next fairy tale! The kids always, always, always love the Three Billy Goats…I mean who can’t? Here is a look at our story elements poster {minus the BME picture cards} we added those the following day. You can see each week we added a new concept to discuss on the story elements posters! As designed by KinderLiteracy …each story element is taught slowly to allow the kids to really grasp the concept before adding on a new skill the following week!
KinderLiteracy includes a great way to assess kiddos each day post lesson and see how much they are taking from the lesson and allows you to see if they are able to apply it! This is a quick vocabulary exit ticket! The kiddos were illustrating valley and rushing!
The final week of our fairy take study was The Little Red Hen! I had originally planned to just do three weeks, but the kiddos were having so much fun so we swapped Stellaluna for The Little Red Hen!
Fairy Tale Performance
As a way to celebrate our study of fairy tales we help a fairy tale show for our parents! I already had these masks, but there are some headbands included within KinderLiteracy! We practiced and practiced until we were ready!
Thanks for ALWAYS sharing how it looks in your classroom. I am often inspired by your videos and pictures to teach like Tara! Congrats on making learning so meaningful and fantastically fun for your students.
I unfortunately I do not teach kinder but you make me want to do it!!!! I teaching a fairytale unit for second grade and am getting ideas from your post! 🙂
I just bought your fairytale close reading bundle and it's great to have this post to complement it. We just finished The Three Little Pigs. We are starting The Little Red Hen today. Where can I get the sequencing cards? Thanks!
Hi there! Unfortunately those are not part of the close reading plans, but KinderLiteracy! 🙁
Tara
Thanks!
Hi Tara! I purchased your guided reading Mega Bundle and I LOVE it! I raved about it so much that I got our first grade team interested in your 1st grade one and they bought it. Thanks for all your hard work and great ideas. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have a full year's resource that was created by an actual teacher. A million thanks!
Tara I have the Kinder Literacy Bundle. I am doing the Fairy Tale Unit right now with my class. I don't see the characters for the stick puppets. Are those not part of the unit? I love the ones you show in the pictures- all on one page with cutting lines!
Yes, they're in there! You might just need to download the latest version! 🙂
Tara
Thank you!! Yes I needed to download the latest version! My Kinders are loving Kinder Literacy and I do too!
Will you be posting any pictures from the nonfiction units? I really enjoy the visuals, it really helps in putting it all together. Thanks
We so much love this Phoenix preschool because it offers a versatile program that stimulates our child, and provides her education in a caring and loving environment.
Hi Tara,
Is there a list for your Kinderlitercy Pack? I am trying to decided if it is something I can get ready this summer. By the way…L.O.V.E. your guided reading bundle.
I read that and I meant to ask if you have a "BOOK" list…sorry
Yes there is a book list as the preview of the bundle! I can also email you if you email me at taradc87@hotmail.com 🙂
