We read this really great book. The cover is the picture below. The tooth fairy is a hot topic in First Grade. This book helps explain why the tooth fairy looks different to each person. The students loved it!
Below is another class' response to what they think the real tooth fairy looks like. In the book, it talks about how children don't see the real tooth fairy because it would scare them. To help with this, the tooth fairy takes on the image of someone the child trusts. My students art didn't get hung up for this. There written response went home with their pictures. I had my students do a painting of what their tooth fairy looks like when they appear. It didn't go as well as having the student think of what the real tooth fairy looks like. I hope that makes sense.
