This month, we’re reading fairy tales!
Fairy tales are part of our history and literature reading this quarter with Tapestry of Grace Year 3.
We didn’t really have time for crafts since we’re still on our summer schedule and busy with the garden, traveling on vacation, and doing lots of fun activities outside our home, but we notebooked and discussed the lovely language and art in the books we read.
We researched the Grimm brothers and Hans Christian Andersen and how they gathered their tales for their collections. Fascinating stuff.
Notebooking:
- Homeschool Share Fairy Tale notebooking
- character notebooking from The Notebooking Fairy
- compare/contract form from The Notebooking Fairy – great for comparing/contrasting the traditional tale with a modern story or movie
- Emergent Readers from the Measured Mom
- Story map from Amy’s Wandering
Books:
- Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales
- An Illustrated Treasury of Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales
- Irish Fairy Tales and Folklore by W. B. Yeats
- Nordic Tales
- The Classic Fairy Tales by Norton
- The Complete Fairy Tales by George MacDonald
- The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka
Such great fairy tale resources!
Wonderful fairy tale resources! I am headed over to look around your fairy tale Pinterest board now :-)
Not my best effort, Jill, but I didn’t want to be late. We’re actually still on this unit and I will update the post soon. We’re reading lots and no fun crafts, really. :(
