2nd Grade Fairy Tale Ball

Tuesday, March 22, we delighted in seeing some of our favorite fairy tale characters who were attending our Fairy Tale Ball. The Ball was the culminating event for a month long study of fairy tales in 2nd grade. The 2nd Grade teachers Mrs. Llerena, Mrs. Prieto, and Mrs. Gil, along with many 2nd grade parents worked to transform our school cafeteria into a ballroom worthy of all fairy tale princes, princesses, knights, queens and kings. What a magical morning! The morning began in the courtyard with some of Cinderella’s favorite tunes – “ Bippety Boppety Boo” and “Cinderelly”- performed by the 2nd grade under the direction of Yirka Ledon, their music teacher. In the “ballroom” the students danced delightfully thanks to Maite Diaz, our royal creative movement and ballet teacher.

They were graced with a visit from the Big Bad Wolf (Coach Danny), the Giant from Jack and the Beanstock (Coach Jon), Cinderella and the Prince (8th graders Hannah Pastor and Javier Gil), Sleeping Beauty (Ms. Miriam), Maleficent (Mrs. Prieto), Ms. Elena as a fairy, and the Queens (Mrs. Llerena and Mrs. Gil), among others. Of course, they followed this with a feast of Snow White’s Puffy Kisses, Hansel and Gretel’s Gum Drop Brownies, Little Red Riding Hood’s Chicken Tenders, Rapunzel’s Braided Cheesy Bread, Royal Scones, a fairy tale cake and so much more. Once upon a time, in the land of CEA, fairy tales came to life! Thank you to all who helped make this such a memorable day!
