Diving Into Fairy Tales

Welcome back from vacation! We have spent the last two days diving into and getting to know various fairy tales so we can begin preparing for our Fairy Tale Wax Museum on April 6th! Forms are being sent home today to provide more information about the unit. On the form, students are asked to list their top three character choices for the wax museum. These choices must be returned by Monday, March 13th. Students will be notified about which character they will portray on or before Monday so they have plenty of time to prepare at home and in class for our big day!

Need some inspiration? Here is a list of fairy tales your child might like to explore:

Aladdin 

Alice in Wonderland 

Beauty and the Beast 

Chicken Little 

Cinderella 

Goldilocks and the Three Bears 

Hansel and Gretel 

Jack and the Beanstalk 

Little Red Riding Hood 

Peter Pan 

Pinocchio 

Rapunzel 

Rip Van Winkle 

Rumpelstiltskin 

Shrek 

Sleeping Beauty 

Snow White 

The Boy Who Cried Wolf 

The Elves and the Shoemaker 

The Emperor’s New Clothes 

The Frog Prince 

The Gingerbread Man 

The Little Mermaid 

The Little Red Hen 

The Princess and the Pea 

The Three Billy Goats Gruff 

The Three Little Pigs 

The Ugly Duckling 

Thumbelina 

Tom Thumb

While almost all of these tales are available in our classroom, there are also lots of different versions of these stories in our school library as well as the Wiggin Memorial Library. Students are more than welcome to choose ANY main character from any fairy tale they have read before. Some may end up being different characters from the same fairy tale, so it is important for us to know which character they would like to be from the story.
