To create our Contour Line names we selected 3 colors to trace around and around our names. Every student's name was a different font, and since many selected different colors each one looks so unique!
The second project was based around our goal setting for third grade. We read Nobody Owns the Sky by Reeve Lindbergh, the story of Bessie Colemen. "Brave Bessie" was an African American woman who wanted to be a pilot, but she lived in America during the time both women and African American were dealing with segretation issues. Bessie chose to not give up on her dream, even though everyone told her she should, and ended up moving to France and becoming a well-known pilot. We used this story to begin a conversation about goals and dreams, and how we shouldn't give up if there are challenges and it seems we won't ever achieve what we've set out to do. We then took some time to talk about goals for things we could do during this school year, so they would be attainable. Finally, we created our peeking faces to display these goals. They will be up for you at conferences in October!
