The Fairy Tale Ball combines literature with fantasy by enabling the students to become part of their favorite fairy tale by dressing up as characters in Cinderella, Goldilocks and The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, The Gingerbread Man, and Jack and the Beanstalk. As part of the celebration, students read excerpts from the popular fairy tales as their parents and teachers watched with delight!
During the 6-7 weeks of study, classes focused on story elements including: settings, story lines, characterization, and problems and solutions. Prior to the celebration, the first graders were taught all about the wonders of magic, repeating words and happy endings. Additionally, under the direction of art teacher Lisa Giurlanda, students created artifacts which were displayed in the Fairy Tale Museum for everyone to see!
