As a way to add to the Lucy Calkins Narrative Writing unit, we made iMovie small moment trailers! We used our small moment story mountains to help us create these masterpieces. So many important skills went into creating these trailers. The students followed a rubric, synthesized their stories, found pictures to match ideas, used show not tell, and finally prepared their pieces in an iMovie trailer. The students then created their own "movie poster" and learned all about QR codes. This was an incredible effort by all our 3rd grade students! Please stop by to scan your child's QR code (must download a QR code reader to your smartphone.) If you don't have a smartphone, you can ask your child to show you on their iPad. Enjoy!
Today we worked on getting to know each other better as a way to connect with each other and build a positive class communiity. The kids worked hard to draw and write about themsleves. We will be sharing these with our buddies in kindergarten next week. We also worked on learning to have good conversations with each other using "turn and talk" and being good listeners and precise speakers.
