Fairy tales are old stories told and retold again, but do they deserve a place in a modern language arts curriculum? Besides the fact that the Common Core standards require exposure to fairy tales, there

The Goose Girl is a fairy tale written by Jacob and William Grimm. It's a story of a stolen identity, the power of a given word and the justice winning over injustice.
Time to get a little dirty while learning about how plants grow! After reading books about parts of plants and how plants grow, we of course had to plant our own seeds to witness this first hand. First we added soil to our cups... ...then the kiddos planted two lima beans, two pinto beans, and some grass seeds in a clear plastic Solo cup. (I like to consolidate!) The clear cups allow the kids to see the roots as the plants grow! (Which they think is really cool!) We also watched this awesome video on YouTube to see how the lima beans would grow. Since we were also learning about Fairy Tales, we read Jack and the Beanstalk and added the castle in the clouds to our plants. When I saw this idea on Pinterest, I just had to add a huge beanstalk to the corner of our classroom! Here's our anchor chart we made for our study of Fairy Tales.

Are you curious about the different types of witches and what types of witchcraft you should practice? Here's the 22 types of witches!
It seems the older I got, the more I found myself dreaming of one day living in a fairytale cottage. Could it have been all those fairytales books I read growing up? Did I see a few too many Disney movies over the years? Or, could it just be the hectic pace of everyday life that has me fantasizing about life in a storybook house.What little girl wouldn’t love a charming Victorian abode? Its peaked roofs and tiny porch evoke the essence of fairy tales. We bought our home in 1997 for $40,000 dollars.Not much to look at, but I loved the old charm and it had good "bones".It actually was one of the first built in our village.Yes...I said village...I guess that makes me a "Village People.Ha Ha." Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale. I truly am blessed. Me living in a real-life fairytale cottage. I always told myself I would have something blooming in the window boxes and pies baking in the oven. I Would never ever ever run out of lemonade. The entire house was painted with Pratt and Lambert paint in hues of rich ,warm, fall colors. Closeup of gingerbread peaks before being installed.Painted in a rich burgundy and gilded in 24 KT. gold leaf!! Cottages houses have been romanticized since the early fairy tales of Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel and have a way of infinitely reminding us of gingerbread houses, and cookies, and sugar! I was always fascinated by the cottages and whimsical buildings and homes in Carmel-California, still am. There's no where else quite like it on earth.Carmel’s cottage living is full of traditional cottage elements, such as the arched Dutch door where the top half can be opened while the bottom half stays closed, the use of decorative, artisan-crafted objects as well as window boxes, shutters, stone walkways and wonderful plantings – I simply love these houses, they are truly adorable.Here are some examples... Even if you can’t buy a fairytale cottage by the sea, I believe you can create a seaside lifestyle wherever you are. That is what I love about dreaming. It gives you inspiration and ideas to bring back to reality. You imagine a life you want and you make it happen with what you have. You get creative. It isn’t always about buying perfection, it is about LIVING the way you really want to, wherever you are. You can create a seaside cottage in the most humble of houses in any neighborhood. I did, and while it may not be everyone's dream home...I feel like the princess of my castle. This is a picture of my not so pretty cottage before renovations. Before After Happy. Warmth. Attitude. A flamboyant color that's often tied to fun and happiness, orange exudes energy and warmth. It has the power to inspire people both mentally and emotionally to get them thinking and talking. And while associated with change, ambition and attitude, orange is an exciting color that attracts attention. Installing weather vane and lightning rods painted birdhouse Succulent window boxes...cause I hate to water!! The back deck all made from recycled or curb finds...even the grill and refrigerator! The small fence is for my grand daughter who is just crawling. Made from recycled garden edging and old ladders. My version of a playpen and she LOVES it! Garden edging is used for my backsplash, and counters are recycled wood painted and epoxycoated for durability. Window crown Backyard pond Even a mailbox can be the most whimsical appealing structure, even if we don't have a mailman. I keep gardening tools in it. Life is always good when we can escape to the comforts of our home, the coziness and serenity that awaits us inside. There is a secret garden surrounding my storybook house. You will have to know the secret password to get past the guard. Rumor has it she can be bribed with cheese. ;-) My cottage is full of chandeliers, columns, carvings, chimney pieces, Victorian millwork, porch posts, ornate railings and doors. There are unique door knobs, doorbells and other hardware, fireplace mantels, overmantels, mirrors, leaded and stained glass, old style tubs, sinks, sink fixtures, stoves, and statuary.The icing on this cake is a copper roof with weather vane and glass globe lghtning rods. Gingerbread peaks gilded in 24 KT Gold. Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. ~ Grandma Moses

From rags to riches and beasts to beanstalks, these are the fairy tale stories that shape our happily ever afters.
Time for fairytale prince names! They're dashing and romantic, but more wearable than you might guess. And they range from Top 200 to rarer-than-rare.
I do have more Charles Robinson art to post, but I thought I would take a break from that to feature some work from something a bit more seasonally appropriate. Hans Christian Andersen’s fair…

I got this cute little sign post last year for my Fairy Garden. So now I'm going to enlighten you about Fairy Rings! Now, what actually is a Fairy Ring? Scientifically, it is a huge threadlike, musty-smelling mass, called a mycelium, which causes mushrooms to grow in a circle. (Not good for the grass, as the fungus eats the nutrients from the grass!) Mythologically speaking, it is a worn area in the grass made by fairies dancing. The English believed that fairy rings were where fairies came to dance and celebrate, the mushrooms of the rings were used as stools for the fairies to recuperate during the evening's festivities. The following information is from Druansha's Page: "...old legends will tell you that this is where the Faeries dance and perform many of the rituals of their own magic. Legends might warn you that those who join the Fairy dance within the circle under the moon are sometimes lost to time and place and may even disappear forever..." There are many stories written on Fairy history, folklore, and superstitions. Most of them talk about the terrible consequences of interfering in the lives of Fairies, revealing their location, stepping into their ring or trying to capture them. "...if a human steps into the ring (s)he will be compelled to join the Fairies in their wild dancing, which would seem to occur just a few minutes but in fact would last for seven years or more. The unfortunate human can only be rescued by someone outside the ring who can grab hold of his or her coat-tails..." It is said that bad luck and doom befalls those who cross the Fairies but I'm not sure if this is an early Celtic interpretation because later in the Victorian Era Fairies were seen as something romantic, titillating and strangely beautiful & captivating.
Two hundred years ago today, the Grimm brothers published the first edition of their fairy tales. Their cultural legacy has been monumental, making the stories part of our common narrative. But what is the secret to their success, and what is our responsibility in their preservation for future generations?
