Fairy Tales, Part 1...

Our focus in reading has been on fairy tales.  We began our genre study with a personal favorite of mine, The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch.  Ask your child to retell this story to you.  We retold this story on paper bags, just like the one Princess Elizabeth wore!

Next, we compared and contrasted Princess Elizabeth (The Paper Bag Princess) to a traditional princess.
