Quotation Marks

Here is a quick fun lesson on quotation marks... color some macaroni noodles green and red using food coloring. Then have students write a sentence that uses dialogue (I just happen to like to make mine rhyme!). Use the green macaroni for when the talking starts, and the red for when the talking stops.

Pasta Skeletons

This is sonething I've done for all ten years I've taught third grade. I love teaching the skeletal system around Halloween - it just works! It's nice to take a little break from the daily routine to have an artsy moment (although this always reminds me why I hate white glue!). We had a half day this week so it was perfect for doing this project. They turned out cute as always!
