2/22-2/26

This week, we learned about what elements make a fairytale story special. We read several different fairytale stories, and the kids wrote to retell about each one. I saw a lot of improvement as the week went on! We also painted fairytale castles for art. We spent time this week getting ready for Market Day, which turned out to be very successful! The kids had a lot of fun selling their goods, and shopping for goods of their own.
Below, you can watch their commercials that advertised their Market Day business.
