Fairy Tale Fun

Sometimes I am a  little slow on the uptake.  I have been soooo excited that there are only 19 students on my class list. (A little nervous too, because the other 3rd only has 18.  I would hope that they wouldn't combine, but you never know.)  This year I have chosen to do a fairy tale theme in my classroom.  In third grade they get to learn about fairy tales and folk tales from around the world.  I thought it would be fun to hook a theme to that.

All summer long I have been searching for fairy tale things to decorate my room with and to use to enhance my theme.  It all seemed very girly.  This made me a little apprehensive how well I could make it work, but my friend assured me that it was a great theme.  I get my class list on Wednesday right before my open house I put up my bulletin board with all of the students' names on crowns.  It looks great.


This morning I am reading another blog and she is talking about how many boys she has on her list. I am thinking I have 12 boys on my list too; 12 boys and 7 girls.  Bam! It hits me 12 boys and 7 girls. Fairy tale theme only 7 girls.  Wow I think I really chose the wrong theme.  I am in desperate need of a way to "dude up" fairy tale land.

I would appreciate any suggestions I can get.

Big Bad Wolf!!! lol You could read the True Story of the Three Little Pigs from the wolf's perspective and then could see what the boys perspectives are on some of the fairytales

You could also do knights and dragons! :)

Hope that helps.

Great ideas. Love the boys perspective on fairy tales.
