The Stars at Night,
Are Big and Bright,
Deep in the Heart of Texas.
I guess you could say, I have Texas on my mind!!! Well... next week is Texas Public Schools' Week, and I absolutely love teaching the Texas Sized Fairy Tale Unit that we teach during this time of year. I am completely obsessed with fairy tales with a Texas Twist.
It is almost my blogs 1 year anniversary, and my very first post was about this very same topic. I had planned to put the project together for my TPT store, and it finally happened a year later! Yikes, time flies!!!
These are the fractured tales and original tales I use to teach this unit:
You don't have to live in Texas to enjoy these fun fill fractured tales. They would also be a great addition to a western themed unit. I will definitely be back to post pictures of student work.
Okay, I'm back...with pictures
This is the fun sequencing activity we did with Waynetta and the Cornstalk. I love how some of them drew giant feet at the top of the cornstalk to look like they belong to a giant:
And finally, a page for them to write about their favorite Fractured Fairytale:
Texas sized fairy tales... this looks like so much fun to teach. I bet the kiddos LOVE this unit!
