Kinderella is a heartwarming Cinderella story about a little girl starting to Kindergarten.  The problem she has is much like that of many children today.
Does a fairy god-mother solve her problem or could it be someone else?
 

  


Teachers:

  • Read Kinderella at your Back-to-School Meeting. Parents (and step-parents) will be able to use this message as they prepare for their child’s first day of Kindergarten.
  • Read Kinderella on the first day or during the first week of school. Most students in your class will see connections to their own lives and to their new Kindergarten class.
  • Use Kinderella to spark discussions about step-families, outward appearances vs. good character, following school rules, introduction to the school principal and the Lost and Found.
  • Read Kinderella during your Fairy Tales unit after reading Cinderella. Use a
    Venn diagram to compare and contrast the two stories.


Parents:

  • Read Kinderella to your child just before he or she starts to Kindergarten to spark discussions about your own family, outward appearances vs. good character, making new friends and following school rules.
  • Give a copy of the book to a friend or family member who has a child starting to Kindergarten.
