Did you do your Summer Reading?

TALL TALES
Throughout history people have told and written stories about their heroes. A tall tale is a special kind of hero story because the heroes of tall tales are 'larger than life'. They are bigger or stronger than real people, even when the tall tale is based on a real person. Tall tale heroes solve problems in funny ways that are hard to believe. How many times did you read a 'larger than life' part in Steven Kellogg's books? 'larger than life' means an exaggeration. Get ready because we will be writing our own 'larger than life' TALL TALES when we get back to school!

New Class Pet?

I had a great time at the MARE workshop in Tuckerton, NJ. I am excited to begin working on our "water study" project. A highlight of the trip was holding a baby shark (pictured) . Enjoy the last few days of summer. Remember: only IF you went somewhere this summer bring in a postcard.
