This week in our reading series, we studied Fairy Tales. We talked a lot about problem and solution and read a ton of fairy tales. At first, my boys weren't very excited about this unit of study. {This made it a little difficult since I have 14 boys and 7 girls. Unlike last year, where I only had 3 boys by the end of the year. There is definitely a different dynamic in the classroom this year in comparison to last. Not bad, just different.} The second day, we read Jack and the Beanstalk and the boys loved this one. After that, they were hooked and couldn't wait to hear more fairy tales.
Anyways, yesterday, I had my students do a fun writing project. I had a different version for the boys and girls. Just click on either picture to download for free.
The girls pretty much said they would use their hair as a ladder or they would yell for a prince to help them. The boys responses definitely varied. Some said they would rescue them or use a ladder. However, one said "I would leave the princess there for a couple of days and then I might go and rescue her." Lol!
Then the boys made themselves into prince's and the girls into Rapunzel.
They loved it and they turned out so cute. You can download the patterns by clicking HERE.
Here are some pictures of our bulletin board. The lighting and picture quality from my phone is horrible. Sorry :(
If you download this, I'd love to hear from you :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! SO adorable!!!
I had a class once of 17 girls and 3 boys ALL YEAR. It was the best year ever -- quiet, clean, organized, etc! This year I have 17 boys and 12 girls. But it's all good. The boys are super sweet!! I have more drama with the girls. :)
Thanks for sharing!!

So cute! I love it!
This is such a cute idea! My girls are completely obsessed with Tangled - so I think their responses would also surround long hair!
Thanks for sharing!
