Third Grade, Reading, Set Six

We read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. We had one book, but I thought it would be nice if we each had our own to read from, so I picked one up from the library. It had larger type and some of the original pictures in it, and K. enjoyed using it. I had a study guide for the book, put out by World for Learning. I picked a few things from it for us to do:

• Vocabulary
• Comprehension
• Recipes - Poppyseed Muffins and a Rainbow Cookie (below)
• Cinquain Poem
• Venn Diagram comparing the book and the movie
• L. Frank Baum: Author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Carol Greene -- this is a Rookie Biography and was very interesting and added to our reading the book.

We have decided to use The Wonderful Wizard of Oz for our Book Day on October 31. We already had a Scarecrow and have made a Tin Man. I'm not sure if we will try to make a Lion or not. I'm working on a Dorothy costume for K. We are going to cut flowers out of tissue paper to make our dining room into poppy fields. We are still working on our menu. Book Days are lots of fun!
