Friendship Fair

Charlotte's Web was our final novel of the year. The theme of the book is friendship, and every year 3rd grade has a Friendship Fair after reading the book. 



Before the big day, we dyed t-shirts to look like a web. Then, the students drew a spider in the web.









The first half of the day was spent rotating through indoor activities. Each teacher completed an activity with the students related to Charlotte's Web.

During "Fern's Friends," the students sequenced events from the story with their partner. Then, we played a "Who Said It" game as a class. I would read a quote and students would identify who said it.





In another classroom, students played "Templeton's Teasers" (Jeopardy).


Students enjoying "Barnyard Bingo."



"How Big Is It?"





The afternoon consisted of Charlotte's Web activities outdoors.

Students are weaving themselves through Charlotte's web in these pictures.

"Lurvy's Tractor Pull"







"Don't Fall in The Trough"



After an exciting day, we relaxed with popsicles.



A HUGE THANK YOU to my team! This was my first year teaching 3rd grade and they made the transition smooth. I throughly enjoyed working with each one of you!!
