Thank you to Katelyn’s mom, Mrs. Megan, for being our mystery reader this week! We enjoyed hearing “The Princess and the White Bear King” by Tanya Batt! We are so glad everyone lived HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
This week we focused on the fairytale – “The Emperors New Clothes.” We compared and contrasted the original to the fractured fairytales “The Emperor Penguins New Clothes” and the “Principal’s New Clothes” that Mrs. Garman graciously read to us!
