On Monday, the boys traced and illustrated the fifth verse. they traced and illustrated the sixth verse on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, I cut apart their verses and they glued them together in their Bible notebook. On Thursday, they recited Psalm 8:1-6.
SOCIAL STUDIES:
Native American Teepees:
I printed copies of a teepee template and Native American Symbols.
The boys drew symbols on their teepees that told a story much like the Blackfeet tribe we read about today.
We added some embellishments, cut them out, and put them together.
Then we added skewers from the inside to poke through the top. By taping them inside on various places, they fanned out perfectly.
Jordan put together our new playmobile Native American chief.

As time permits, he continues to build Pocahontas’ village on Minecraft. It’s looking pretty cool!
Descriptive Writing:
Jordan’s creative writing assignments are teaching him how to use descriptive words ti make his writing more interesting. This week, he was learning about similes.
First, we read The Apple Pie that Papa Baked together. This book was full of descriptive words. The author incorporated adjectives to describe each element that was a part of making the apple pie.
I printed our Fall Similes pack to pair with this read-aloud.

I thought smelling and drinking spiced apple cider would complete this fall activity. The smell wafted through the kitchen while the kids colored the first page.
The kids sipped their cider while writing about fall.
3rd Grade Language Arts:
Each week, I create a Grammar Grab Bag for Parker to use with his language arts activities.
