This week in the Haifa class, we thought we would go global. We decided that we were going to focus on stories of Cinderella from all over the world. Early this morning, before any students got to school, the bookshelf was ready for their arrival, chock full of the same story from different cultures.
At circle time, the students got to see where the different stories are from. We pulled out a map, showed them where we are, and then pointed to each place each story is from. Locations include the United States, the Middle East, Africa, Mexico, Korea, China, and more!! We are going to see how the stories change yet stay the same!

Ah ha... that explains why Sara mentioning Africa yesterday in random contexts.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad that Sara remembers what we talk about in circle. The African Cinderella that we are going to read is called Mufaro's Beautiful Daughter.
