One of our stories in our Reading book is called Cendrillon, a Carribean version of Cinderella. We always take a couple of weeks and explore different versions of Cinderella. You'd be surprised at how many different ones there are. We've read western, Native American, Chinese, Russian, penguin, and many other versions. We even read a story about a recycling Cinderella. See if you can find her in the pictures!
This year, Mrs. Overman and I decided it would be fun to have the kids create some "life size" Cinderellas and Princes to go with the summaries the students are writing. It's taken several days but the kids loved the project.
I love seeing them get down on the floor and get creative. They had to come up with their own plans and designs. We supplied the paper and they went to work.
Yep. you guessed it! That was Cinder Edna, our recycler!
Well, "Howdy! Mizz Lurlene.."
Here is a Native American Cinderella from Rough-Faced Girl...
Looks like someone is visiting from Egypt.....
We can't forget Joe Prince from Cindy Ellen...
They are so proud of their work, and they should be! Their masterpieces are hanging outside our classrooms. Feel free to stop by and take a peek!
