This week we will be exploring fairy tales! Each day will be focused on one fairy tale where we will be singing, acting, creating, and doing much more! Throughout the week we will be reading stories of each fairy tale from different authors, as well as from different cultures. We also will have big pieces of cardboard out in the front so that the kids can create houses and castles to use for dramatic play. We definitely have a fun-packed week planed!
