The third grade students in Mrs. Reidy’s class have been busy little elves learning about authors and science.
Our class has started an author study.. Our featured author is Patricia Polacco. We are reading her book, Thundercake while answering thin and thick questions about the story plus distinguishing personal point of view from that of the narrator or those of the characters. The students are so excited to learn about our author and trying to decide if Patricia is the one telling the story. Not only have we been readers and writers, we are also scientists.. What a great experience for these little scientists to dissect owl pellets. The students discovered rodent bones, then compared the skeleton of the rodent to the skeleton of a human bones. We do have a classroom of future authors and scientists!!
Reminder: A number of prepaid mental health sessions are available for your BCS student. Please contact the Bowen Center for more information.

Fiction is fun! Mrs. Amanda Johnson’s 3rd graders at Blackford Intermediate School incorporated some drawing into understanding fairytales and fables. “While reading the classic fairy tale ‘Beauty and the Beast’, students drew pictures of the events from the beginning, middle and end to show comprehension. They also included elements of fairytales like characters, setting, details, magic, dialogue, problem and solution. Students loved explaining their drawings and making connections to the story. It was a unique way for them to show their creative side, while also digging deeper in the text!” Way to go, Bears!
