Folktales!

We read a folktale today. We discussed how folktales are passed down and how they have a lesson to learn in them. Today's folktale was Nacho and Lolita. After we read, we shared our thoughts on what the lesson was to learn. Here are some of our "big and deep" thoughts........

Never judge a person by their "outside" but by what is on the inside!
If you love someone you will do anything for them!

Both of these were correct and I am so proud of the scholars for being able to recognize these and acknowledge that they are lessons that we need to live by. :)
