December in First Grade

This month, first graders are exploring fairy tales!  We're reading some of the classics - Cinderella, The Gingerbread Man, and The Princess and the Pea.  AND, we are going to read some fractured fairy tales, too.  We'll learn about comparing and contrasting stories, characters, settings, and happily ever afters.  Sometimes, we'll even do a little fairy tale math.  Here's a graph we made about how we'd bite into a gingerbread man cookie.  Which part would you bite?  Our most common bite is the head!  Happy holidays from all of your 1-H friends. xoxo
