Third Grade: Day 64

We finished up the “Matchlock Gun” By W.E. Edmonds on Monday but I had Isabel do her “ending after the ending” assignment today.

The “ending after the ending” is something that I borrowed from another site (can’t remember where) and decided to use it to help build her writing since she dislikes to do it so much. After we read a book, she has to write about how she thinks the story might end with lingering questions she might have in mind. Great creative tool!

Not a big book which made it hard for her to think of something to write.
She struggled with this assignment.

Not a lot to say but at least she did something.

Third Grade: Day 63 – Interview A Dolphin

Our “Do Together” science assignment was to “interview a dolphin”. Isabel had to be creative being both the interviewer and the dolphin!

She could either write a short story about an interview or write a dialog that tracks the conversation. She choose to do the latter.
