Maine Author Kevin Hawkes tells us about how he gets ideas for books. |
He shared his sketchbook with us, full of drawings and ideas for stories. |
We loved it when he drew for us and showed us how to make shadows! |
One of our classmates go to make random lines for him..... |
and then he turned it into a character before our eyes! |
Hula Hoop Rock Paper Scissors at Field Day |
A fierce game of tug of war. Pols vs. Vise! |
The bouncy house is a HUGE hit with the kids! |
And the parachute is another favorite! |
We played Octopus! These kids are hard to catch, trust me! |
A little Duck, Duck Goose for a much needed break |
We ended with water relays! |
Back in class, ready for a reading break..... |
This week we worked hard on our owl research. |
We took notes from common texts and used the notes to write our reports. |
We practiced owl drawings several times using a step by step drawing guide. |
Putting the final product together |
Several drafts of owl drawings on one page |
Everyone writes their own report. |
Research, research, research! The kids will now be ready to research a bird of their choice for their individual project. |
