This week, you will be creating a "fractured" fairy tale of your own, in the same style at Bubba, the Cowboy Prince and Waynetta and the Cornstalk! On Friday, you each chose a "real" fairy tale that you wanted to read and recreate as a "fractured" Texas tale. Wednesday, you will begin to read and analyze the "real" fairy tale that you chose. Then, you will start to write your version. I would like for you to share these with the 3rd Graders after they are written. You can even illustrate a few pages of your story. I know you'll do a great job!
Your spelling words are below. They come from a combination of all of the "real" fairy tales you chose on Friday. Your test will be on Friday, January 14, and will include spelling the word correctly and matching the word with its definition.
Congratulations on such a great job with your spelling tests this past Friday!
