This month has been Storytelling Month here in 2nd Grade and this week the kids tried their hand at writing fables. We learned that a fable is a short story that usually ends in a moral, or lesson that can be learned. Check out some of the wise, silly, and smart fables some of the kids wrote!
The Race
by Caleb
Two guys had a motorcycle race to half of the Grand Canyon. The race starts. Dasher and Flame started driving, but Dasher went too fast and went down the canyon and exploded.
Moral: Slow and steady wins the race.
The Football Player
by Rohan
One day a football player said he was the best and that he couldn't get tackled or get a fumble. The next day he had a football game. The quarterback handed the player the ball and he got tackled!
Moral: Don't get ahead of yourself.
The Rich People
by Danielle
Once upon a time, there were two rich people named Sara and Eddie. All the other people were poor, but they had a million dollars. They were kids and their parents were away.
Sara and Eddie saw a new toy on a commercial. It was one million dollars. They decided to buy the new toy, then they were poor.
Moral: Don't trust kids with money.
