So… we have been working hard to learn all about folktales.  The children have done an amazing job with this unit.  I am proud of their ability to describe, discriminate between, and discuss attributes of folktales.  They also have done a nice job of writing their own.  This week, we read a fun version of the folktale “The Three Little Pigs”, as told by the wolf.  The children were tasked with creating a shelter that could withstand a fair amount of wind.  I was impressed with the thoughtfulness, revision and care that the children put into their plans and designs.  I was also impressed with their ability to revise their original plans, and the encouragement that they gave one another.  The children actually made comparisons to a STEAM project that we did at the beginning of the year.  It was fun for them to reflect on how far they have come.  I am really proud of this group, and the progress that they continue to make.
