LITERACY Our book study for the month of October was focsued on the book Crankenstein by  Samantha Berger. Whos is Crankenstein, you may ask? He may look like a regular school aged boy but when faced with a rainy day, melting popsicle, early bed time he transforms into a mumbling, grumpy Crankenstein! The students took part in a number of activities surrounding this book including writing a descriptive paragraph about their very own  Crankenstein and a STEM challenge! In the STEM activity the students were challenged to create a calm down tool to use when they are about to feel cranky. It had a set limit of materials and it had to fit inside a pocket with a moveable part. The students made their initial sketch of their calm down tool and then got into groups and shared their ideas. Once they had some feedback from their peers, they finalized their design and started to build their fidget. They turned out amazing and the students were so proud of their creations! ...

LITERACY MARCH MADNESS: TOURNAMENT OF BOOKS Our second week of March Madness has been a blast. Thank you to all of our Mystery Readers for taking time to read to 3D! The students love trying to guess who their Mystery Reader will be each day based on the clues they receive each morning.  The four books that were read this week are Memoirs of a Goldfish, Miss Raffety's Rainbow Socks, School Rules! and Wild Boars Cook.

LITERACY Writing:  In the last two weeks, the students learned how to write in a poem format. They learned what the word stanza  means and how to organize their writing. The theme of the poem was friendship. First, I read the book "Don't Need Friends" to the class. The class discussion was about how the characters (a rat and a stray dog) changed their minds about having friends throughout the story. As a whole class, the students filled an anchor chart titled "How I Can Be A True Friend". Secondly, the class read a poem titled "Friends" that followed a pattern that the students would follow in their final copy. They thought about activities they enjoyed doing with their friends and two things that they would need to carry out the activities. The students picked four activities to write about and plugged it into the poem's stanzas.  The students continue to edit their sentences using the acronym  CUPS  to remind them about what to look...
