The past few weeks, our 2nd grade bobcats have been focusing on fairytale elements during their library time. During our first lesson, we talked about characteristics of fairytales. Using Rumpelstiltskin as an example, we focused on sets of three, magical elements, and good vs evil characters. These past two weeks, students participated in two different stations. At each station, students started with a fairytale ebook - either Cinderella or The Three Little Pigs. In their small groups, students identified sets of three, magical elements, and good vs evil characters in their assigned fairytale for that week. Once these steps were completed, students could begin the corresponding building challenge for their book. For Cinderella, teams needed to create a carriage out of pipe cleaners their Cinderella cut-out could fit in. With The Three Little Pigs, students created two separate houses using two types of our building challenge materials their three pigs could fit in. Our 2nd graders had a great time working together; see some examples below!
