Week 12 Assignment (6/15 - 6/19)
Week 12 Assignment (6/15 - 6/19)
Hi 3rd Graders!
We are almost to the end of the school year! This week I want to talk about summer reading. It's very important to keep working on your reading skills and continue to read as much as you can. Hopefully the public libraries will open soon. In the meantime use the helpful links on my site to find free ebooks.
This week's assignment is really for the whole summer. I would like you to create a summer reading poster. Here's how:
- Read as many books as you can from now until the end of the summer.
- Keep a record of all the titles you have read
- Gather the following materials: Poster paper (at least 11 x 17 this can be found at Stop and Shop, Staples, Target, Walmart, Dollar Store), and any or all of the following that you would like to use. Markers, crayons, glitter, glue stick, stickers, popsicle sticks, photos, printed pictures of books, and anything else you would like to use.
- Design a poster with all the titles of the books you read on the poster.
- Next, be creative! You can cut your poster into any shape you want. For example, a flower, soccer ball, butterfly, book, a character in your book, really anything that you like.
- Title the poster. For example "My Summer Reading" or anything with summer reading in it.
- You might like to make a theme for your poster. For example, some things you did over the summer and glue pictures of what you did. You could make a poster theme about something you really like. For example gymnastics or lacrosse or trains. Whatever you want!
- Please make the poster as neat and as attractive as possible as they will be displayed in the hallways.
- Don't forget to put your name and new teacher on the back so that I may return it to you.
- Do not bring the poster in on the first day of school.
- I will make any announcement during the first week when to bring it in.
- Any student who brings in a poster that is the right size and has followed the directions above, will get a prize from me.
- I think this is a great way to share what books you have read with others and a great incentive to keep reading!
- If you have any questions about the project please email me at lcronin@sachem.edu
- Have fun with it and enjoy the reading and the project

Hi Third Graders!
I chose this story for you to watch. I hope you like it. Have fun trying the challenge below!
- Click on the arrow in the picture above to watch the story.
- There are two sides to every story. In Part One, a little girl finds a strange beast in the woods and takes it home as a pet. She feeds it, shows it off to her friends and gives it a hat. But that night it escapes. Then, in Part Two, the beast tells the story of being kidnapped by the girl, who force-fed it squirrel food, scared it with a group of beasts and wrapped it in wool. Can the two beasts resolve their differences? A Tale of Two Beasts is an eye-opening story that makes you look at things from a different perspective.
- Click on the link below to listen to a fractured fairy tale, which tells a different side to the story and write your own fractured fairy tale
