THE PAPER BAG PRINCESS

Here is our read aloud from today. Enjoy!!

The Castle

The students in Room 165 are VERY, VERY, VERY excited about a new project that both classes are working on in our dramatic play centre.

When we first started school, the drama centre was a house centre, and later it became a doctor's office (AM class choice). Prior to the March Break, the PM class brainstormed a list of ideas for the drama centre and voted:

The idea with the most votes was for CASTLE!!!

The children immediately began cheering and clapping for the vote outcome. They began drawing pictures about what the castle would look like, and what the castle would need. They came up with wonderful ideas for what the castle would need, such as princes, princesses, crowns, dragons, water, bridge, secret passages, just to name a few. 

On Monday, we closed the doctor centre, and started creating our castle. Here is what it looks like so far

The children covered our previous pink table with brown coloured mack tack to make a "wood table".

 At the art studio, the children were hard at work making crowns, and necklaces for royalty.

Inspired by the story,  "The Paper Bag Princess" we read during group time, the student on the right built a dragon with snap cubes, and the student on the right is a dragon slayer.


We will continue making props for our castle this week based on the children's interests, and I will keep you updated!!
