Snowman Book Reports

The third grade students used the draw tool bar to decorate in the snowman’s face and the hat. The body of the snowman contains the title and author. The bottom of the snowman will contain information about an event that happened in the book. Students changed the font, size and color. Cut it out. Glue and paste to a piece of construction paper! This projects was given two thumbs up!

Picketing Turkeys!

My favorite lessons are when I can relate a book to an activity. This lesson was inspired from my community center after voting! I saw picketing turkeys in the hallway and thought about what a great idea to pair up with the book called A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting. The students used paint to color in the picketing turkey and completed the phrase Eat More….. They printed them and it really makes a great display of colorful projects. This lesson can be adapted in many ways:

1. Put the pictures in Photo Story to read what they wrote.


2. Write a story about the picture they colored.


3. Talk about healthy food choices.


4. Translate Eat More in Spanish (Coma Mas) and pair it with a food in Spanish. Record students reading what they wrote!
