Fables, Songs And Activities For The Elementary Classroom

by Cristi Cary Miller and Sally Raymond

The ageless and timeless wisdom of Aesop and his fables will come to life through singing, movement, costumes, and staging in this collection created for Grades 1-5. These songs can be performed together on the "big stage" or separately in the classroom. Some stories are more fitting for primary age students, and some more appealing for those in the upper elementary grades. Connect across the curriculum with creative extension ideas for language arts, creative writing, art, math, and science. Some featured fables and songs include: An Aesop Adventure, Kindness Is Contagious (The Lion and the Mouse), Nobody Believes A Liar (The Boy Who Cried Wolf), Try And Try Again (The Crow and the Pitcher), He Didn't Want It Anyway (The Fox and the Grapes), One Step At A Time (The Tortoise and the Hare), and Simple Pleasures (The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse). (Grades 1-5)
