Trickster Tales

This week we are concentrating on trickster tales from different cultures.  We read the Aesop's fable the "Fox and the Crow" yesterday, and the Native American tale "How Bear Lost His Tail" today.

We are also working on memorizing and reciting the short poem "An Autumn Day."

An Autumn Day

Pumpkins in the cornfield,
gold among the brown,

Leaves of rust and scarlet,
trembling slowly down;

Birds that travel southward,
lovely time to play;

Nothing is as pleasant
as an autumn day.
