The Three Little Pigs

Picture
Even though this wolf was snacking on some ham during the talk show, he ended up becoming friends with the pigs! Pig #1 was perfectly fine with her airy home made out of straw, Pig #2 build his house out of sticks leaving him more money to buy sody-pop, and Pig #3 got a PhD in engineering. 

The Rough Face Girl

Picture
This moving adaptation of the classic children's story Cinderella tells how a disfigured Algonquin girl wins the heart of a mysterious being who lives by the lake near her village.

The powerful Invisible Being is looking for a wife, and all the girls in the village vie for his affections. But only the girl who proves she can see him will be his bride. The two beautiful but spoiled daughters of a poor village man try their best to be chosen, but it is their Rough-Face-Girl sister, scarred on her face and arms from tending fires, who sees the Invisible Being in the wonder of the natural world

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Is Goldilocks a sweet innocent girl or a naughty child? You'll have to watch the talk show to find out. The classic story twisted with delightful humor makes for a fun read and reenactment. 

Lon Po Po

Picture
Students compare the popular fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood to a similar Chinese tale, Lon Po Po, and explore the similarities and differences between the two cultures. In this version, it's the kids who outsmart the wolf. 

The Little Red Hen

We've learned that hard work pays off especially when there's a delicious cake in the end! The cat, dog and mouse love to snooze and even had a hard time staying awake during the talk show! All characters claim that they all contribute more around the house and share the housework. This is a great lesson we discussed in class and hopefully it's transferring to your home too!
