Once upon a time in a far away classroom, nineteen first grade students were hard at work writing their very own fairy tales. In this magical classroom students discussed all the different elements of fairy tales. There is usually royalty, magic, villains, heroes, spells and sometimes even dragons.

It all began with students filling in their castle organizers with title, characters, problem, solution and setting. While reading a variety of different fairy tales we have been focusing on what the problem in the fairy tale was and how it was solved.
Students then wrote, wrote and wrote some more using all the fairy tale elements. Some students had Gingerbread Dogs, Big Bad Pigs, magic wands and even a Fairy Godfather.
1st graders then used the iPads to illustrate a detailed cover page. We included three important parts: title, author and illustration.
As the story ends, these nineteen first graders kept learning happily ever after!
