Home Learning | Circle Time at Home

Jack and the Beanstalk is an old English fairytale about a poor mother and her son, Jack, who sells their only cow for three magic beans. Learn what happens when Jack plants the magic beans and finds himself on a daring adventure! Using their imagination, fairytales help teach children learn how stories are developed with different characters and how conflicts are resolved. Fairytales also help young children to begin to understand the difference between fiction and non-fiction stories. Practice segmenting beginning sounds with puppet Gloria and learn how to make flower booms for your garden! Grades: Preschool and Kindergarten.
