We had so much fun last Friday celebrating the conclusion of our fairy tale unit with our Fairy Tale Ball! We began the morning by introducing all of the fairy tale characters from each of the second grade classes. Here are the fairy tale characters from our class:
 |
| Cinderella, escorted by her Fairy Godmother |
 |
| Rapunzel, escorted by Flynn Ryder |
 |
| Cinderella, escorted by Prince Charming |
 |
| Kate and the Beanstalk, escorted by Jack and the Beanstalk |
 |
| Rapunzel, escorted by Prince Charming |
 |
| Rapunzel, escorted by King Austin |
 |
| Merida and Little Red Riding Hood, escorted by the Frog Prince |
 |
Princess Brianna, escorted by Prince Ahmi
|
Later that morning, we began fairy tale math. The children were able to rotate to each of the second grade classrooms and complete a fairy tale math activity. In Miss Mountain's room, they estimated and measured how far the Frog Prince had jumped in inches and feet. In Mrs. Callihan's class, they estimated and measured how long Rapunzel's hair was in inches and feet. In Mrs. Nose's class, they practiced geometry concepts by building houses out of various three-dimensional shapes, and trying to prevent the wolf from huffing and puffing and blowing their houses down. And in our class, the students estimated and measured how tall Jack's beanstalk had grown.
To end our day, the students got to enjoy some delicious fairy tale snacks!
