Fables, Folktales and Fun

One of our Common Core Standards this year is learning about Fables, Folktales, Fairy Tales and Tall Tales from different countries.  We learned about Aesop and his Fables.  We learned about the difference between Fables, Folktales and Fairy Tales.  We even read a few Tall Tales.  The highlight of the unit was that each of the kids wrote, illustrated and presented their own Fable.  They designed and colored a setting and characters.  We used an overhead projector to tell their puppet fable.  Wowzers, these kids are clever.  We learned a lot of life lessons and morals from their wisdom!
