Happy Wednesday! We’re halfway
through the week J The weather here has been very hectic. We first had snow,
then an ice storm, then rain and now the weather man is calling for snow again,
whew! With all that said, we have been spending a lot of time inside! Which
means more reading time, yay!
What have we been reading?
Sweet Pea and Tutti Frutti
love Folk Tales! Being a homeschool mom I immediately spotted this love and
decided to do a unit study on Folk Tales. (Don’t you just love how you can zero
in on your children’s interests in homeschooling?!?) We picked up this great
treasury of Animal Folk Tales of America at our local library. As soon as we
got home, Sweet Pea and Tutti Frutti wanted to dig right in…what mom would say
no to that kind of willingness? J

A perfect day to be cuddled on the bean bags reading

After Reading…
After reading these great
stories and discussing all about their meanings and the exaggerations in them,
Sweet Pea and Tutti Frutti completed their “Tall Tale Wheels”. I let them pick
their favorite out of the book and they both picked Pecos Bill!
You can download your “Tall
Tale Wheel” from
Of course, I had to share with
Sweet Pea and Tutti Frutti the beloved tall tale cartoons I grew up watching J Below you will find the links to each of
these on YouTube:
