Rapunzal, Rapunzal!

I have never done a Fairy Tale unit, but I LOVE it!!!  Today we read Rapunzal, the traditional tale and a "twisted tale" called Falling for Rapunzal.  It was a very funny story about Rapunzal "letting down" other things, such as underwear (any book with underwear always gets a laugh), a pig, etc...
Then, the kids created a tower and illustrated something that Rapunzal could "let down".  The responses ranged from "colorful apple" and "watermelon" to "door" and "doll".  Gotta LOVE kinder!!

"Rapunzal, Rapunzal, let down your colorful apple," said ____.

 We've completed our Fairy Tale journal.  On Monday, we have our Kindergarten Celebration of Learning.  More on that later...

The journal is at the bottom of this display.

A few weeks ago, I took a 30 minute technology class after school.  The topic was Instagram and I was very excited about it.  I opened a personal and classroom Instagram account.  Now, I'm linking up to share photos, some personal and some school. Check us out on Instagram every Tuesday!

Jump Rope Freebie

I found these jump ropes at the dollar store today and I wanted to give them as student gifts.  So I wrote a little rhyme and uploaded it to TPT for free.  Click on the photo.   Enjoy!

Poof! It's a Fairy Tale Journal!

Our fairly tale unit is beginning next week and I needed a journal!  Sooooo....POOF!  I created  a fairy tale journal that I'll use for organizing my students' writing, including a castle craft! The journal has a cover page, story element comparison chart, a "beginning of the story" and "end of story" page. Patterns and instructions for the castle are included. In our class, we focus on four main fairy tales, The Princess and the Pea, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel. Then, for each story, copy the summary page, beginning and ending sheets. The chart and pages are generic so the journal can be used with any fairy tale. Click on the photo and check it out!
