KID BLOG

I found the coolest blogging site for students!   I shared it with the 3rd Grade SPACE kiddos Thursday and they LOVED it!  Here is the link because I promised them I would share the link to their blog on my blog!   I can't wait to see what you create!   ~ Mrs. Parker

The Mysteries of Harris Burdick

One of my favorite parts of the Mystery Unit for 3rd Grade and The Haunted Center Activities for 5th Grade is to read the stories you write that are inspired by the 12 pictures found in The Mysteries of Harris Burdick book! I found a web page dedicated to publishing stories students have written and I wanted to share it with you! You can read the stories that other students have written or submit one of your own to be posted! I can't wait to read your stories! The Mysteries of Harris Burdick Link

The Author and Illustrator of The Mystery of Harris Burdick is Chris Van Allsburg. He has a fun, interactive website for students to explore. Check it ou!  Chris Van Allsburg

5th Graders ~  I also want to challenge you to look up your favorite author's webpage and share it with the class through the blog.  Make sure to read their bio.  I bet it will give you some insight about why they write about certain topics.   Enjoy!
