Wednesday and Thursday, March 1 and 2

Group Meeting:  We are beginning a new unit on Fairy Tales.  To get us started, we watched a PBS video titled "What is  Fairy Tale?"  We learned that fairy tales usually take place a long time ago, have unusual characters such as trolls and talking animals, and sometimes include magical powers.  I know that we will have fun with this unit!

Story:  I read The Knight and the Dragon by Tomie DePalola.  In this story, a young knight decides that he wants to fight a dragon.  At the same time, a young dragon wants to fight his first knight.  The knight makes a suit of armor and practices his jousting.  The dragon practices using his fiery breath.  When they meet, things don't go as well as planned.  A princess comes along with a great idea.  Ask your child to tell you what it is.

Let's Find Out Magazine:  The magazine for this week is about books; fiction and non-fiction.  The children learned how to tell the difference between a book about real things and a pretend story.

Snack:  The snack was white cheddar rice cakes, milk and water.

AM book:  That's Not My Tractor by Fiona Watt brought by Elijah

PM book:  Pete the Cat's Groovy Imagination brought by Jayden
