Storybird


Hi, all!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is ready for another exciting week.  Last week, our class wrote and published our very own fairytale!  Together, they created a story about a ghost princess, a ghost prince and an evil sorcerer who all lived in the spooky woods.  After writing our fairy tale, we used Storybird (http://storybird.com) to illustrate and publish our work.  For those of you unfamiliar with Storybird, it is a Web site that grants people access to all sorts of pictures that can be used to illustrate their writing and then publish online.  The kids had an absolute blast working on Storybird!  When you have some time, I encourage you to check out the Web site with your child.  Also, be sure to read our class fairy tale by clicking the link below.


As a reminder, we will be having the Kindergarten Fairy Tale Parade on Friday, March 2 at 8:30 a.m., and I hope you all are having loads of fun preparing your costumes.  Immediately following the parade, we will enjoy sharing snacks related to a nursery rhyme or fairy tale.  Some examples could include: a pie from the Three Little Kittens, muffins from The Muffin Man, bread from The Little Read Hen, apples from Snow White, etc.  Please let Ms. Beller or I know if you are able to send in a snack.  Also, please be sure to label your snack with the nursery rhyme or fairy tale that it represents.  We would like to have all snacks by Thursday, March 1, so we will have time to set-up.  Thank you for helping to make this a special day for our kindergarteners, and we look forward to seeing on March 2 at 8:30 a.m. 

Educationally Yours,
Ms. Bruner
