We have just begun our learning about fairy tales in the Haifa class. Yesterday we introduced the idea that all fairy tales start with "Once upon a time" and that they are not real. We finished our day reading Jack and the Beanstalk, a well-known but not very commercialized story. Many of our students knew the story and were captivated by the book. This morning we continued our learning about Jack and the Beanstalk by talking about what happened in the story and what the message, or what we were supposed to learn, was. We are going to do this with several known but not commercialized (read: Disney-fied) fairy tales, where we will read them and then dissect them the next day!
Several of our students added important and relavant information and opinions into our discussions today, and we were even able to compare and contrast this book with other books of the same story!
