We usually do word walls on our bulletin board for each theme that we do, so this week is no different. Except, I didn't exactly just put up words, this one had a lot more to it.
I used white paper and markers. The title or in the case the question/topic was "What Makes a Fairytale?"
So of course I asked my daughter what she thinks of when I say "fairytale" and I wrote down a bullet-pointed list of what she said with "Comes to mind...." as the heading. She named some of her favorite characters.
I also made some one that said "Once Upon A Time" with the word "once" underlined. I did this to discuss how a fairytale usually starts. Sometimes the whole familiar phrase is used, but sometimes just the "once" part is, or even another sentence all together.
Another one that said "Happily Ever After" to signify how a fairytale commonly ends. This was placed at the end of the board for that reason.
Another one that said "Good People" with another "comes to mind" bulleted list that my daughter helped me make.
Another one that said "Evil People/"Bad Guys"" with another "comes to mind" bulleted list that my daughter helped me make.
Another one that said "Fictional or "make believe""
Another one that said "Morals or lessons"
Another one that said "Sometimes There's Magic" with another "comes to mind" bulleted list that my daughter helped me make.
They were all tacked up in an order that made sense and will be discussed daily throughout this themed week.
