Author's Craft MuseumWe studied the writing of Lester Laminack. We discovered author's craft like repeated words and phrases, parenthesis, similes and metaphors, as well as honoring speech. Working in groups we created posters and rehearsed presentations, which were then displayed for the 3rd and 5th grade classes that visited our museum.

Miss Stone's class traded Monster Match Up descriptions with Mrs. Hawe's class. Students then has to read the descriptions, visualize and draw the monsters.
