Hi Parents, 

Our fairytale unit has been a hit with the help of the book Three Billy Goats Gruff.  The children enjoyed making "troll smiles" on cooking day using an apple, raisins, and peanut butter.  

 

They also built their very own bridge collage.  Everyone did an excellent job of retelling the story when adding the characters to the bridge. 

Later, the children came up with words to describe the troll.

Then we discussed if we ever act like trolls.  Are we ever cranky?  What makes us cranky?

The responses were outstanding and ranged from "Sometimes I am like a troll when my brother does not share" to "Sometimes I am like a troll when I cannot play".  Their writing has really taken off!  We are very proud of the effort they all have given!
Next week we will be continuing our fairy tale unit with the books Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, and The Princess and the Pea.  If you have any fairy tales at home you would like to share, feel free to send them with your child. 

SWIMMING REMINDER
Swimming has been moved to Day 1 for the remainder of the year.  Next week, we will swim on Monday. 

Have a great weekend!
