We created a poster for each of the tall tale characters we learned about. Here is a list of the characters we covered.
* Pecos Bill
* Slue-Foot Sue
* Paul Bunyan
* Davy Crockett
Here are their posters:
I f you are wondering where I get the stories for this unit. Please check out my post from last year by clicking here. You will find a few other Tall Tale activities along with a couple of free downloads. You can also click the image below to head there:
This year, I also bought Hope King's Tall Tale unit. I absolutely LOVED all of her activities. This little guy is from her unit. I decided to create a summarizing page to go in the middle of her adorable Pecos Bill!
This poster is also from Hope's unit. One of my teacher buddies had the idea of using a bandana to tie the posters together. Love how it turned out!
We ended our week with a Tall Tale graph. It was the perfect way to integrate literacy and math.
Click above to grab this freebie. I also use this same template to create graphs for a lot of our different read alouds throughout the year.
It looks like our Texas cold weather may behind us. It's starting to feel more like spring around here. I LOVE that our Texas bluebonnets have started blooming. I found this lovely little flower in my mom's front yard.

Love the way the papers look when you hung all six together! Seeing your students' drawings reminds me I must work harder on getting them to color the entire picture! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI will miss the bluebonnets this year! But at least I get cherry blossoms here in Korea!
