What I Saw in the Teacher's Lounge...

Last spring we were blessed with a visit from Jerry Pallotta; a well known author of children's books. The following prompt is based off his book, What I Saw in The Teacher's Lounge... .

 Prompt: When I peeked in the teacher's lounge, I saw...  

 When I peeked in the teacher's lounge, I saw Mrs. Coffin along with two other teachers having a disco party! Others were having a surfboarding party. Mrs. Lingenfelter, my second grade teacher, was hang gliding over everybody. Mr. Long was playing tennis with a banana! It must be fun being a teacher!

 When I peeked in the teacher's lounge, I saw a teacher mountain climbing and another in the North Pole with penguins and Santa Claus. I saw another in a submarine with a lot of fish! All of a sudden, I heard a voice say, "Wake up Oz!" and then I woke up and realized that it was all a dream. Guess what? At school today, it all came true! 

--Oz 

  When I peeked in the teacher's lounge, I saw the third grade teachers swimming with whales and the fourth grade teachers in Hawaii. The second grade teachers were shopping in Paris and the first grade teachers were in Texas riding horses. The Kindergarten teachers were having a disco party and the student teachers were getting famous!

When I peeked in the teacher's lounge, I saw Mrs. Coffin fighting a prehistoric dragon! Mrs. Mather was fighting a mountain dragon! It was crazy! Then I saw a Megladon slam the door open and say, "No peeking in the teacher's lounge!" Then he slammed the door! I didn't listen though! The next day, I peeked again and saw Ms. Roberts fighting a forest dragon in the forest. I couldn't resist. I went in! I had lots of fun but I got a red slip. I kept looking in the teacher's lounge. Now I want to be a teacher when I grow up!

 The first day of Fall was yesterday. I like Fall because I like jumping in the leaves! I love to hide in a pile and scare my mom! I also like to to make jack-o-lanterns and cookies! I love Fall!

 The first day of Fall was yesterday. I like fall because Fall has a lot of colorful leaves -- brown, red, green, and yellow. Fall is beautiful!

Our Days...Our Writings

We have been journaling up a storm in 3rd grade! We are taking our prompts from "My Days...My Writings". These third graders have so much to say and share about themselves! They have many adventures that they are dying to tell us about! What better venue to do that than a blog? Enjoy!

 Prompt: When I grow up... 

 When I grow up, I want to work at the Henry Doorly Zoo. I want to feed penguins, sharks, and giraffes! Once in awhile, I even want to clean the shark tank. I would probably like to work in the butterfly den too, but I would want to be where you check to see if people have butterflies that landed on them when they went in the butterfly zone.

 When I grow up I want a Dodge Challenger with wide tires and DUB rims and hydraulics!

When I grow up, I want to be a cop. I want to be a cop because I get a car, a taser, and a gun!
--Raul

When I grow up, I want to be a paleontologist! I would get to drive and dig up bones!

When I grow up, I want to work at the hospital. I think I would be good at it because on my Kindle Fire, I bought this game where I am a nurse and if I am really good at being a nurse then I get to be a doctor! One of the patients had knee surgery! I want to work at a hospital!
--Tresha

When I grow up, I want to be a lion tamer in the circus! I would be good at that job because I know a lot about lions. I would train it and practice once a week! It would be fun in my opinion.
