The theme for this year’s summer school is “Fairy Tales,” which I think follows last year’s Disney theme nicely. Our reading list is a little shorter than normal, but we’re going to be doing lots of cooking and crafts, too (right now, I’m planning on a fairy garden, a gingerbread house, “straw to gold” ornaments, and an enchanted rose centerpiece)! Here’s a look a the books I’ve assembled:

• An Illustrated Treasury of Grimm’s Fairy Tales
• The Blue Fairy Book
• Who Were the Brothers Grimm?
• The Irresistible Fairy Tale
• The Fairy Tellers
• The Brothers Grimm Cookbook
• Fairytale Baking

I don’t know if I can come up with any field trips that fit the theme, but even if I don’t, it should be fun!
