Folktale Fun in Miss
Maneri’s 1st Grade Class
Two weeks
ago, first grade began a reading and writing unit over Traditional Literature,
and it has quickly become our favorite! These cheetahs are reading all types of
folktales and even learning how to write their own. Our class has loved looking
at different versions of the same story and comparing how they are alike and
different. This even inspired some of them to write their own versions of
popular folktales during writing time.
Daniel says,
“I like these stories because they are made up and have stuff that’s not real.
I like that they always have a problem, and they always live happily ever
after.”
“Little Red
Riding Hood is my favorite folktale we have read in class. I like that she is
bringing stuff to her grandma because that is nice.” –Jasmine
“I love
writing fairy tales because you can write something funny or scary, and there
are princesses!” -Sophie
“My favorite
story so far is The Princess and The Frog. I like frogs, and I like stories
with castles in them!” –Aiden
“Writing
folktales is fun because you can use your imagination to write them. I like to
use stories that I know and then change them a little bit to make it my own.”
–Madelyn
“Fairy tales
are awesome because they have magic! I like princesses, too! Cinderella is my
favorite story.” -Jaylynn
