For our fairy tale theme, we are exploring some of the classics as well as reading a few remixes.  The following is a list of stories that I am trying to include:

The Little Red Hen
Three Little Pigs
Three Little Pugs
Three Little Gators
Three Snow Bears
Jack and the Beanstalk
Gingerbread Man
Three Billy Goats Gruff
Hansel and Gretel
Little Red Riding Hood
The Pig Who Went Home on Sunday

Printables:

Fairy Tale Choice Board
Hansel and Gretel: Reading and Writing Unit
Myths, Legends, and Fable: Definition Signs

For language, vocabulary and story telling, we are including:

Rory's Story Cubes
Happily Ever After Mad Libs
Roll a Story Writing Activity

I'm also putting together a Fairy Tales Playlist on Youtube.  In this case, we can switch back and forth from reading to viewing fairy tales as we need to break things up.  Family Movie Night this month is going to be fun as well with options like Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, and The Little Mermaid.

For art, we are including lots of art lessons from Chalk Pastel and Arts Hub for Kids.  We try to do an art lesson once a week, learning new techniques and art forms.

In history, we are nearing the end of Story of the World Vol 2 (Medieval History).  This month, we are reading excerpts from Why Do Castles Have Moats?, as well as various other story books.  We'll also be including A Lion to Guard Us as a short read aloud.

For science, we are including a variety of picture books including The Man Who Named the Clouds and Magic Schoolbus Inside a Hurricane.  We'll also be playing with these Weather and Climate Flashcards as well as Professor Noggin's Earth Science cards.

For Bible, we are working our way through The Ology.  Some of the topics are well known to our kids while others are new concepts.  So it's a nice mix of new and old.

Our family read aloud for the month is Mary Poppins.  We're excited to read a classic as we wait for Marry Poppins Returns to hit the dollar theater.
