Introduction to Keller 4th Grade
Legendary Creatures Website
 

Some things you have to believe to see – Anonymous

 The Junior Great Books series has a wonderful Scottish folktale retold by Winifred Finlay entitled, “The Water-Horse of Barra.”  This tale sparked the interest of my 4th graders into researching the subject of legendary and mystical animals.  Brainstorming a list of such beasts and beings, students’ chose one creature to investigate further. Chinese dragons, Griffins, The Phoenix, and Pegasus are a sampling of what caught their eye. 

Each student has written a tale for you to enjoy, providing a picture, music, and a movie that each has created.  So, sit down with your child with a cup of tea or some dragon stew and smile at their word smithing and imagination. Click on the link to experience each student’s story . . . become a kid again!

Our appreciation is extended to the following experts, authors, and artists:
