Second graders at Carl J. Lamb recently completed an exciting unit on fairy tales and tall tales. They explored classic stories like "The Fisherman and His Wife" and "Beauty and the Beast," learning about story elements and important life lessons. The unit also introduced American tall tales featuring characters like Paul Bunyan and John Henry. These stories helped students understand the concept of exaggeration in storytelling and gave them a glimpse into life on the American frontier. This unit has strengthened students' listening and comprehension skills, while also preparing them for more advanced literature in future grades.
