It was a great blend of learning and fun for all.

They participated in different activities and games based on the many fables and folktales they read throughout the unit. Students took part in a "Golden Egg" race, ran relays as a "Sheep in Wolf clothing", balanced pails on their head just like "The Maid and the Milk Pail," threw spiders in a web for "Anansi", followed the directions on a weather vane in honor of "Medio Polito", and ran through McGregor's garden as bunnies! Everyone had a wonderful time -- reading and celebrating what they learned!
