The Three Bears

I usually do a unit on fairy tales in February and since we saw the opera last week, we have begun looking at the Goldilocks books. We have read a couple of versions already, and are working on comparing them. A lot of what we do in first grade is comparing and contrasting, and looking for things that are the same and different. One book we read, is about what happens after Goldilocks grows up and goes back to the Bear's house. We also read the Jan Brett version which is a traditional tale. Soon we will begin looking at the Three Little Pig books.
