Fairy Tale Fun!!!

We began our Fairy Tale unit this week...I LOVE fairy tales!!  They are my absolute favorite stories to read and do things with.  Of course, my centers are themed around my unit as you can see below AND we do lots of fun activities too!  My fairy tale unit will be ready soon and loaded to my tpt store in case your fairy tale unit needs some new center stations.  :)  


Integrating literacy with math...sight words, color words, counting and number recognition all in one center...I love these kind!

We are practicing hard on addition...this was super fun!  How many beans can Jack's hand hold?

Teen number words...

Ordering by 10's with Rapunzel's Tower

Reading nonsense and real words with Goldilocks

Our weekly word family word sort...they loved the little wands!  

My version of a rhyming center...matching a word we can read to a picture...rhyming is SO hard for my kinders, especially EL's...is it for yours?

Beginning and Ending sounds...they really have to listen to the stretched out word and concentrate to hear both sounds

Spelling CVC words

Okay, this was so much fun!  First we made Rapunzel and her tower then we add hair to her.  Next, I let the kiddos come up and cut a yellow piece of yarn.  I told them to cut it however they wanted.  You can find this activity HERE


  
Then, we measured Rapunzel's hair with cubes and the piece of "hair" we cut from yarn.  Last, we compared the two pieces.  So much learning going on here in a FUN way.  :) Can you tell I'm all about learning and FUN!?









ALL Of my kiddos were so engaged!  I was eating it up!

Little Red's Basket of Blends...first we made Little Red and her basket.  
You can find this activity HERE.
Next, we got a sheet of paper with pictures on it and only colored pictures that began with a blend.  

Last, we put the blend pictures in her basket.  :)  They LOVED this on too...plus they look adorable hanging in the hall!  

More fairy tale fun next week, AND Valentines!  :)  
Hope your weekend has been great!

  10. Julie I purchased your fairy tale unit as well. I'd love to do the Rapunzel and Little Red art activities along with the centers. Are these the only other art activities you do with your fairy tale unit? Do you by chance have the templates and directions for these cute art activities? If so could you email the to me?
