Fractured Fairy Tales

This week in second grade we are learning about fractured fairy tales. A fractured fairy tale is almost the same as any normal fairy tale you know, like Sleeping Beauty or Cindrella, but the author has changed some of the characters, part of the setting or part of the plot of the story.



The last time the second grade was in the library, we heard the Disney story of Cinderella. This week we are reading, Bigfoot Cinderrrrrella by Tony Johnston.


Some of the other great fractured fairy tales we have in the library are: Little Red Cowboy Hat - from Little Red Riding Hood, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs - from The Three Little Pigs, Sumorella - from Cinderella and Beauty and the Beaks - from Beauty and the Beast to name a few.

Dewey Decimal System


This week in the library, 3rd and 4th grade students will be learning about the Dewey Decimal System. That is the 10 groups that nonfiction books are separated into in on the library shelves.


The dewey decimal system was created by a man named Melvil Dewey in the year 1876. This is a picture of Melvil Dewey.
This is a great link to the 10 groups within nonfiction. http://www.scottpublib.org/dragon/Dewey.html
