Poetry in the Library: Shorebird by 3rd Grade

Third graders used Shorebird to create found word poetry. Students select artwork then use word tiles to form a poem. Searching through the original artwork was the students' favorite part.

3rd Grade: Color Thesaurus

3rd graders honed their reference skills using the thesaurus - in print and online. First they created synonym chains out of index cards - some were quite long with up to 25 synonym chains! Next students used artist and author Ingrid Sundberg's Color Thesaurus. The Color Thesaurus is a visual representation of the different names and shades of colors. Students found new words for their favorite colors and then added them to a group poster. Why go with just blue when you have all of these options:
