Use our CINDERELLA UNIT to teach your COMMON CORE LEARNING TARGETS! Students will compare and contrast two versions of the same fairy tale.  Go to hollishemmings on teacherspayteachers.com

Use a royal theme to post your COMMON CORE LEARNING TARGETS, ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS, AND VOCABULARY.
Create the castle using large pieces of gray and red felt.  I used simple rectangles and triangles for the pattern.  I attached the felt using hot glue and then tacked onto an existing bulletin board.  For additional royal themed classroom labels and desktags, go to Hollishemmings at teacherspayteachers.com.
