Cougar Rally
3rd Graders LOVE to Write
Our 3rd Graders have been working on writing multi-paragraph stories with detailed sentences. They read Snowmen at Night which inspired a 5 paragraph story about the adventurous night their snowman came to life. Students created their own snowman and brainstormed 3 activities their snowman did when they came to life one night. They focused on introducing a topic in topic sentences, indenting at the beginning of each paragraph, and adding detailed sentences to paint a picture in the reader’s head.
Holiday Sing Along- we will post videos on FB soon!
