Hello to All,

The final activity in our March Reading Madness was to create a float after a book we had read. The class chose to do Charlotte's Web. With the help of a wonderful PTO mom they all helped build Wilbur and Templeton out of paper mache'. They also made three large webs with the words SOME PIG, TERRIFIC, and RADIANT in the center. We put the characters in a wagon to look like Mr. Zuckerman's truck, and Charlotte and Templeton were put inside the crate to hide as they all went to the fair. The children in the class all dressed up as characters from the book.


All the classes in the building went from room to room to see the different floats. They were all pretty awesome, so we felt really pleased when we won the First Place Award. The picture to the right is one of my students who dressed up like Templeton. Pretty cool!

Our float is now on display at the Madison County Library along with several others. There was a Little Engine That Could, a tall Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Frog and Toad Are Friends, and The Secret Garden. It was a lot of work, but the children really enjoyed it. I think they were more excited than at Halloween. Especially when we won a prize.
