1st Graders celebrated Fairy Tale Day recently. Meghan, Ms. Purdy’s student teacher, led the week and students learned about the genre, compared and contrasted Cinderella and Cinder Edna (Cinderella’s neighbor who got things done without the help of a fairy godmother.) Students incorporated practicing nouns, verbs and adjectives along with measuring Rapunzel's hair in inches and centimeters, and the Queen of Hearts ordered the group to solve math problems. Of course, there were extra treats to eat while students were in costumes or dressed up for a ball!
