EDRG 3321 M&W Author/Presentations Day 3

Another great day of presentations. I have really enjoyed this project and the outcomes. The group today that did the spiders did a wonderful job. I loved the read aloud video they did and the facts about spiders book Spinning Spiders. This presentation was also great because it's a good way to cross teach. They started the lesson off with reading and ended in science. I also enjoyed their activity where we made spiders. It was very hands on and fun! I think kids would really enjoy this.

I also liked the Snow White presentation. I love to see where fairy tales come from and get the dark truth. :) I think this is a great way to teach to high school students and they would enjoy it. Can't wait to see the rest of their presentation! :)

My book choice for this week is The Three Snow Bears by Jan Brett. It's a retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears," But instead of being in a forest it's in the snow, the bears are snow bears, and Goldilocks is a young Inuit girl who is looking for her sled dogs when she comes across the snow bears home. The book is a fun picture book with a delightful story. It's a book I think kids would enjoy this time of year. Jan Brett also has many other books and a few Christmas once too. Check out her web site, it has all her books and even some fun Christmas activities you can do with the kids. http://www.janbrett.com/ This is a great site for teachers or parents!! Enjoy!
