Last Book Report

We have already been reading and discussing many fables, fairy tales, and tall tales here at school. The students are to read 2 of each of genres: Fables, Fairy Tales, and Tall Tales. These may come from a book you have at home, from the library or from the internet. There is a link to several sites on my webpage and blog. The students are to keep track of the tales they read. I am sending home a form for the students to get track of the reading they each do.
