Writing: Published Authors
Third grade students continue to practice writing using space, capitalization, and appropriate punction as they learn to write organized paragraphs, formal letters, note-taking and free poetry writing.
Each writing lesson concludes with students openly sharing their work. This is a great time for students to feel proud of their writing piece and hear suggestions from their peers.
New and Improved Santa
This Christmas Santa wanted a new and improved "2012" look. The third graders dressed Santa up in a hip, new style and wrote a newspaper article describing the BREAKING NEWS!
Finally, they presented the North Pole News as if they were a news reporter using their best reporter voice. They were absolutely adorable! CHECK out the photos.

Legend of the Talking Feather
Legend of the Talking Feather: In accordance to Thanksgiving and we read the novel, The Courage of Sarah Noble. This novel took place in 1700's and provided many opportunities for integration among many subject areas. In writing, the students retold the old Native American legend "The Tale of the Talking Feather" and decorated real turkey feathers with beads and yarn.
If I had a Million Dollars
I am so proud of the third graders. They officially wrote their first five paragraph essay. It was a three week process as the students learned the writing skills of brainstorming, pre-writing, editing, and writing the final draft. It was an enjoyable topic, since the third graders had the chance to dream about having ONE MILLION DOLLARS. They were extremely creative and thoughtful. They also learned to write using GRABBERS and sequence words.
Each student was graded using a writing rubric. Check out our hallway display below!
