Tall Tales

We had a fun weekend. We went to Mimi's house on Thursday and stayed three days.  We went on a hike yesterday and today we are back at school.  We are learning about Davy Crockett and tale tales.  We made up a tall tale about Max and one about me.

Max runs as fast as a cheetah. His hair is as red as the sunset. He can sleep for weeks at a time and blow a bubble as big as a house and is as tall as the Serious Tower.  He grows as fast as a weed.  He can walk barefoot across broken glass. He can walk on his hands all the way to Florida and he can eat ten plates of food in one minute.

Maya has hair the color of the sun and longer than the Serious Tower.  She can read 100 books in one day and can play the piano like the sound of birds singing.

A tall tale is something that is partly true but it stretches out in a big lie. Davy Crockett did a lot of things that were in the song but there were a lot of things in the song that were not true.

I am learning about contractions and in math I'm doing word problems and telling time and carrying.  We are learning about the nose this week and all the different things we can smell.
