I work k-5 in a low income community and want to come up with a theme for next year that helps me address low background knowledge of famous literary characters and common figures by using classic fairytales. I also want to bring imaginative multi sensory play in as well as board games as most of our students we’re seeing lack play skills post Covid d/t screens. While keeping in mind that I want there to be diverse representation in the books and materials I’m using, hit me with your favorite books, toys, board games, anything and everything magical fairytale, princesses, mermaids, pirates, dragons, you get the picture. I need inspiration!
**Edit to add: I am also specifically looking for books that introduce these characters and concepts to kids who have never heard of them before and provide some background knowledge.

Does anyone know why he left his practice or where he might be practicing now? It seems he left with very little notice despite being near retirement. Very sad as he has provided care for me through many life stages.
