Today, we read the story, "If You Take a Mouse to School" by Laura Numeroff. Using this book as inspiration we came up with our own book title, "If You Give a Book to a Stuffed Animal." Here are some of our ideas of what would happen if we gave a book to a stuffed animal ...
"it would look like they are holding the book and trying to read." - Ben
"it would look like they are trying to read to their friends." - Maddox
"it would look like they are just flipping the pages and not reading." - Emily .W.
"it would look like they are reading just the pictures." - Brennan
Students were presented with the driving question, "What would it look like if stuffed animals read?" Some of the ideas of what to build for their stuffed animal was...
"a hammock because that is where I like to read"- Declan
"a bed because that is where I like to read" - Mrs. Campbell
"a chair because that is where I like to read" - Alex
Students are asked to bring in their own stuffed animal tomorrow. We are asking that the stuffed animal stay at school for the week. Students will be planning the "cozy place to read" for their stuffed animal by measuring their stuffed animal and planning how much cardboard they will need.
We are in need of cardboard for this "Cardboard Challenge"that we are participating in on Friday October 5th. Please send cardboard you may have to school this upcoming week. If you have tape as well, we are in need of this material. Students may also bring items/materials that they feel will personalize their "cozy place" for their stuffed animal.
We look forward to sharing our "Cardboard Challenge" designs soon! If you are able to volunteer on Friday and help support students in this building. Please email your child's homeroom teacher and we would LOVE to have the extra helping hands.

Reminders:
We will continue to collect donations for the Terry Fox foundation until after the Thanksgiving weekend.
