K and 1 finished up "PICTURE STEM" which is put together as a graduate project by Purdue University. The project is six weeks of test paper, learning about rocks, science experiments on paper strength and finally a basket project. The students enjoyed the six picture books for the activity. I loved that it was all laid out for us. Ms. Sally had a blast with the science experiment and basket project. Pictures are limited.

Another fun activity was using the LakeShore kit to read "The Three Little Pigs" then build a structure for the pigs!

What are students doing in Library?
In Library, grade 2, 3, and 4 worked a variety of Genre Webs. The template was found on a blog.

Students in those grades also read one of the PA YOUNG READERS CHOICE books for this year called "Blizzard" by John Rocco.
Students also learned the valuable skill of how to read a dictionary. Then I just found this awesome idea called the Dictionary Project. I have a goal to start this either this school or next school year with my students.
Check it out - Dictionary Project
Here is a link to a local school district who is already offering this opportunity
Penncrest School District
What do you think of this idea?
