91猫先生

Second graders spent three聽weeks聽 devoted to Fairy Tales.聽They read fiction and non-fiction books about the聽Renaisance and medieval time period.聽Students聽also studied and compared聽 the well-known story of Cinderella with other similar tales around the world,聽learning how different countries such as 聽France, Africa, China, Egypt, India, Korea and Native Americans聽have adapted the story.聽Students learned about the elements common to most fairy tales:聽 magic, heroes, villains, problems, setting, plot and of course royalty. The students used what they have learned to聽create聽an聽original fairy tale story using the writing process.

To celebrate this unit and a magical year in second grade, students experienced a 鈥澛燝rand Ball鈥�,聽聽dressing in prince and princess attire.聽These second graders even聽performed a traditional Minuet. After playing a game and feasting, the聽students shared聽their original fairy tales and other work completed based on the Fairy Tale unit of study.

The 91猫先生 Lower School is truly blessed to have聽Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Brashier, two very聽dedicated teachers, who work to create such enriching experiences for their students.
