Fairy Tales

Hello Purple Room Families,

Our students have been very interested in dress-up the last few weeks. It has been wonderful seeing their imagination grow as they play kings, queens, firefighters, princesses, etc. This week we will be discussing fairy tales. We will read classic fairy tales such as Snow White, Littke Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Bean Stock, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We will look at each story and discuss the problem in the story as well as the solution. We will also try and decide what the author was trying to teach us. Fairy tales often have wondeful lessons for children.

I have many fun crafts and group activities planned for this week. And, of course, we will play dress-up.

We are looking into getting some new items for our dress-up area. If you or anyone you know have old costumes that you would like to donate, please talk to Cecilia or me. We, and the kids, would love to take them!

Also, a reminder that this Wednesday July 24th, we will be going on our field trip to PETCO. Please turn in your permission slip if you have not already done so. We are also in need of chaperones. If you can come, please sign-up on the form inside our sign-in/sign-out binder. We will plan to leave at 10:15am and should be back between 11:30am and 12 noon.

Looking forward to a great week!

Warm regards,
Shaina
