Storybook Character Parade

 We had so much fun at our Storybook Character Parade!
I loved all of the costumes and book selections!  The students had a blast parading in their costumes for the school and parents.  After the parade, they did a fantastic job using their props from home to retell their story.



 My storybook ladies

 And my storybook gentlemen.


Can you find your favorite storybook character?

The Tortoise and the Hare

                                                    Last week, we learned all about Fables!
Our favorite fable of the week was The Tortoise and the Hare!
After reading the book, the students were given copies of a script for a Tortoise and the Hare play.  The students worked together in groups to decide who would play each part, practice their lines together, and to create costumes!  The next day, we performed the plays for each other!
They did a great job!

Towers for Rapunzel

First of all, let me apologize for not posting in quite some time.  We have been so busy in 1D!
We have had fun the past two weeks learning all about Fairy Tales!
We have enjoyed designing slippers for Cinderella, planting wheat just like the Little Red Hen, observing and labeling the parts of lima beans after reading Jack in the Beanstalk, and building towers for Rapunzel!
The students had so much fun creating towers using marshmallows and spaghetti noodles!









I am so impressed with their creativity every day!
