Today I'm linking up with Doodlebugs. for:
On Monday, we had Mr. Kissell from the Woburn School Committee as our guest reader for Read Across America.
After he read a Dr. Seuss book, he spent some time chatting with the kids and answering questions. What a great guest reader!
On Wednesday, the Woburn Elks came to deliver each 3rd grade a brand new dictionary. The kids are so excited about their new dictionaries.
One girl even brought her dictionary to lunch recess - now that's impressive!
Each student made their own version of the Cat in the Hat. We used our rulers - except to make the 3 circles, and each Cat in the Hat looks totally different - even having used the same guided drawing directions:
After we drew our Cats in the Hat, the kids wrote an acrostic poem about Dr. Seuss.
Here's what we did in Computer Lab today:
I've been experimenting with my Morning Message by using templates from Promethean Planet:

On Kidblog, I told the kids to do their own "Five for Friday." Of course, right away, one student asked, "So, we just have to write 5 sentences?" Why does writing seem like such a chore to most kids? I was actually hoping that they might not realize that blogging is writing, but I guess they caught on pretty quickly.
By the way, the School Council designated today as Rainbow Day. Mrs. Johnson bought a bunch of teachers rainbow bandanas which we all worn in our own style. Plus, we all dressed so colorfully. What a great way to end the week!
Happy Weekend!
I love the idea of rainbow day! Our 3rd graders usually get dictionaries from a local civic group here too! They're always a hit ! We were right by each other on the link up again...I think this is the 2nd linky I've posted after you :)
