Fairytales and Fractured Fairytales

Bella Vista's Library Media Center is showcasing fairytales and fractured fairytales. A fairytale is a children's story about magical and imaginary beings and lands. A fractured fairytale is a children's story that uses common fairytales then changes the characters, setting point of view or plots. Here are some examples:

Fairytales                                                 Fractured Fairytales

Cinderella                                               The Rough Faced Girl

The Three Little Pigs                              The Dassies 

The Gingerbread Man                           The Stinky Cheese Man… 

Little Red Riding Hood                          Lon Po Po 

Jackie Robinson, A Life of Determination

"Take me out to the ball game..." Baseball season is here!  The biography of Jackie Robinson, one of the greatest baseball players to ever live, was read to the Kindergarteners and first graders this week during story time.  The students learned what it means to have determination. According to the book, determination is deciding to do something and not giving up.

Jackie Robinson, A Life of Determination 
by Colleen Sexton

 

"Jackie showed the world how determination 

can help make dreams come true."

After the story, students explained their own determination with learning how to read, play baseball, soccer, basketball, the piano or violin and more!  These students are working hard, even when it isn't easy.

Bella Vista Tigers have determination!
