Every Fairy Godmother Needs a...


Magic wand!! Continuing with our study of Cinderella, today the Haifa kids got to be the fairy godmother or godfather, and we all made magic wands!! While the kids were making them, I asked the kids about where the magic part of the wand was and what their first wish they would grant would be.

Eli: "The ribbon is where the magic comes from."
Alli: "I'm going to turn everyone into painters."
Drew: "I'm going to turn the whole building into a pumpkin!"
Leo: "I'm turning a pumpkin into a pumpkin wagon!"

Zack was very skeptical about my question about granting wishes. When he asked why I was asking, I told him it would end up on the blog. When he asked how it would get on the blog, Alli promptly told him that the blog was magic!

These silvery bits of magic fluttered around the classroom turning pumpkins into carriages and teachers into frogs! It's so great to see the kids bringing the stories of Cinderella to life. And if you are a parent in the Haifa class that has read this far into the blog, comment and we will give you a sunflower!

  4. We were challenged this morning with being turned into 2 year olds, then 3 year olds, then 4 year olds, etc... subtle distinctions that our Cinderella demanded so early in the AM...
