Fairy Tales Around the World

My students need an assortment of fairy tales for a multi-cultural study and art supplies for an art extension.

This project expired on February 28, 2010.

I teach second grade in a high poverty school. Our students don't have access to many books at home to sustain their independent reading.

Our school is a Title 1 school with little access to funding for classroom libraries. We also have no access to art supplies and no art teacher.

These resources will offer our students access to readable text that is of high interest. It will serve to contrast and compare world literature and foster a multicultural perspective.

You will make it possible for my students to have access to much needed appropriate text with connected art activities.
