I hope you had a very nice Spring Break and Easter with your families! For the next several days, I want to explore a fun group of stories-Fairy Tales! I love teaching and talking about the genre of Fairy Tales because they are such old and magical stories. Did you know that most Fairy Tales have changed over the years? The original Grimm Fairy Tales were sometimes not very happy stories! They didn’t always end with the “happily ever after” that we see in today’s Fairy Tales. Before reading specific Fairy Tales, I want you to look over a few characteristics that these stories include by clicking on this link:
