Coding, anyone?

Last week, Mr. Matt Noggle and his coworker, Hannah, came into our classroom and taught us how to code using games on code.org.  We played the "Star Wars" game which had us tell a droid where to go based on the picture that we were given.  We had a lot of fun!  We even had a chance to learn a little bit about Javascript.  Thank you, Matt and Hannah!  It was AWESOME!!  :)

3A's Fractured Fairy Tale V.I.P. Day

February meant "Fractured Fairy Tale" time!  The first week was dedicated to "The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf." We read "The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig," "The Three Little Javelinas," "The Three Little Hawaiian Pigs and the Magic Shark," etc.

      

The next week, each day was dedicated to one fairy tale and its fractured counterparts.  Monday was "Sleeping Beauty," "Sleeping Ugly," "Waking Beauty," and "Sleepless Beauty."

Tuesday was "Cinderella," "Seriously, Cinderella Is So Annoying," "Cinderella's Rat," "The Rough-Face Girl," etc.

                     

Wednesday was "Little Red Riding Hood," "Honestly, Red Riding Hood was Rotten!," "Lon Po Po," etc.

                    

Thursday was "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," "Believe Me, Goldilocks Rocks!," "Goldilocks and the Three Martians," and "Dusty Locks and the Three Bears."

                       

Friday was "Jack and the Beanstalk," "Trust Me, Jack's Beanstalk STINKS!," "Jack and the Baked Beanstalk," and "Jack and the Giant Barbecue."

                

Both weeks, we also had a wide variety of other traditional fairy tales and their fractured counterparts available to read and get ideas for our VERY OWN fractured fairy tale.  First, we typed and revised our first draft.  Then, we edited and printed out our final drafts.  We took one of the copies home so that we could create a trifold with our families.  We used the other copy to create a power point of our story where we illustrated our 'books' on the computer using our graphic design skills.  Finally, we were able to present our masterpieces during our V.I.P. Day.  It was so much fun!!!!  :)
