Students are learning the proper form for using information from a credible resource (paraphrasing, direct quotes, and listing sources.) Students worked on a collaborative slideshow, and shared information that they found in our online database.

Students analyzed the Caldecott nominee, Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds. They then extended their thinking by applying the author's concept to their own book title (for example, Scary Strawberries!).

Students explored Caldecott Honor book, The Spider and the Fly, by Toni DiTerlizzi (based on the poem by Mary Howitt). They used the illustrations to analyze the discrepancy between the spider's words and actual intentions. They then applied the same principles in their own persuasive writing, taking on the role of the spider.

Students explored Caldecott Honor book, Sam and Dave Dig a Hole by Mac Barnett. Students placed Sam and Dave in new settings for another adventure.
