Summer Enrichment Week 1: Fairy Tale Friends

Summer Enrichment at SMART START has been both engaging and entertaining for our young learners. The July & August program consists of hands-on, interactive activities that coincide with a weekly theme. 

Week 1:

📖“FAIRY TALE FRIENDS” ðŸ“–


The learning & fun commenced with a read aloud of two classic children’s fairytales, “The Three Little Pigs” & “Goldilocks & The Three Bears.” the class circled outside and listened intently to both tales. In addition, puppets were incorporated to aid in the introduction of each character. 



Students exercised their active imaginations and story comprehension skills while performing puppet shows. The exciting roles of the “Big Bad Wolf”, “Goldilocks” and more were brought to life. Bravo everyone! 



Peers partnered up for small group pretend play and story time talk. Books and miniature props were utilized to reinforce the narrative. We discussed the meaning of each tale and the lessons learned by the characters. 



Fairy tales are a fun and magical way to assist social and emotional development in Early Childhood Education. These storylines portray characters making choices that result in either negative or positive outcomes. Children are aware of this and often model their own actions and behaviors based on individuals from books. Due to this, critical thinking, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, self-discovery, acquiring core values and so much more are promoted through reading fairytales.

  1. Who would’ve thought fairytales at a young age would provide so much! I love how they are having fun learning all about these famous fairytales in a variety of ways while an important part of their development is happening. Always learning and always growing!
