Not far from us is a cool theme park called Fairytale Town. Every play area is based on a folktale, fairytale, or nursery rhyme. This year for our literature curriculum, Secundus and Tertius are going to study every story that is represented in the park.
I searched through the stuff I already own, all over the web for free resources, added some of my own ideas, and have pulled together what I hope will be a really fun curriculum. When we're all done (I'm not sure if that will be at the end of this year or sometime next school year) we'll gather some friends and schedule a field trip. I can't wait! I haven't told the kids yet and I'm sure they will be super excited!
