Woohoo it’s almost March!!!
I told my husband this morning that I feel like this winter has frozen me from the inside out. I know all of you are nodding your head in agreement. I have never been so happy to be at recess as I was last week!
This week is all about Fairy Tales. It is one of my favorite units to teach because there are so many literacy activities that you can do with each story. I created this unit last year and it has been extemely popluar ever since it’s been up. I revamped it last week because it was one of my first units and it was just time…
If you make it til the end of the post you have a chance to win it 🙂
This unit is my reading block, writing block and literacy stations for the week. I wish every week was buttoned up nice and neat like this week is. I’ll take one week if I can’t have the other 40.
Here are my plans for the week. You can click on them to see them in google docs. I also created a freebie yesterday that is currently in the making. I’m still not done and that is mostly because I want to see if I need to build on what I already have or if we need to back up and focus more on the concept of equality. Try it out for yourself and let me know how your students do with it!
And before you can enter to win the Fairy Tale unit, check out one of my favorite teachers and her new blog. Her and I co-taught together for the past two years. She’s got all kinds of awesome ideas including Book Trailers. You are missing out if you don’t do yourself a favor and add Sara to your list of favorites.
I love reading Cinderella and all the different versions.
I love to read The Paper Bag Princess!! 🙂
This is an awesome giveaway!
Oops forgot to leave my fairy tale:) It is Three Billly Goats Gruff!
Little Red Riding Hood
I like reading fables, like the tortoise and the hare, with lessons. I like this because it will go well with a fairy tale in our reading curriculum, Cinderella!
I love to read Cinderella and the other versions of it. My kids love it!!
Wicked awesome I so could use this for my work!!!!
I love reading them all! I would say that I love to pick one…and read multiple versions so we can compare and contrast! I have never actually done a whole unit on fairy tales before! Can you believe it?! I am doing one in May this year!
I really like teaching about Goldilocks and the Three Bears!
Cinderella – hands down! Boys even enjoyed this year!
We are having a Fairy Tale Ball in March this year for the Kindergarten students. We each take a fairy tale to share with the kids. My fairy tale is Cinderella! I love that one the best!
Thanks for the chance to win it!
I love reading The Three Little Pigs.
I love to read fables or folktales to my 2nd graders. One of our favorites is, Why do Mosquito’s Buzz in People’s Ears? We discuss the moral, message, lesson and do a retell. This would go great with that!
I love to read The Three Little Pigs. We read several versions. The kids love this story and of course you have to follow it up with Greg and Steve singing it. My kids can be heard howling all the way down the hall.
Fairy Tales are so much fun. I love the ones that have several versions for comparing and contrasting the stories. One of my favorites even as a child was Little Red Riding Hood 🙂 Thanks so much!
I love fairy tales!! =)
I do a whole two week unit on the different versions of Cinderella. Even my boys love it..
Goldilocks and The Three Bears
The True Story of The Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka
I love the different versions of the 3 pigs – including the 3 little wolves and the big bad pig
Our room theme is Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes. I am so excited to have found your TpT area. Now, if some fairy godmother would turn my wallet into a pot of gold, I’d be one happy old princess and buy everything you have created. What great activities.

My favorite fairy tale to read is Thumbelina. They don’t know it, but they do love it once they hear it.
All of the versions of Cinderella are my favorites!
I LOVE all the three little pig books. There is SO MUCH you can teach with them!
I love reading all of the fractured fairy tales. I love comparing them to the real versions. My kids also love them and will laugh and try to correct all of them. So much fun to listen to the discussions they have after we read each one.
This unit looks so awesome! I do fairy tales but this is so much better!
I love 3 little pigs
This unit is sitting in my cart right now!! I’m so happy I saw you were giving one away! If I don’t win, I’ll be purchasing it soon!
