Snow Day Students Day 1. 3rd grade students created an argyle pattern on construction paper with pencil, criss

Georgia would love to adventure around her home in New Mexico and would find various skulls out on her trips through out the desert. These skulls were our inspiration for our paper and model magic skulls.

I found the most adorable book A Fabulous Fair Alphabet by Debra Fraiser This is a MUST have book for your library collection  and if you are a font loving person like I am it will  send you over the moon with all the type faces and images!

Have you ever wondered what the path to grandma’s house would look like in  the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood? I read to the students Little Red Riding Hood written by Brothers Grimm with illustrations  done by Bernadette Watts.  The drawings in this book are so delicate I wanted my students to create their own version of a delicate field of flowers and trees.
