I really love our
morning meeting readings and activities and I am in love with the book, Spaghetti in a Hotdog Bun. We snagged the super cute idea from over at
Third Grade Thinkers and it was a hit. I
have read this book before, but I really loved the classroom connection
activity that went with this. It would
be perfect for the beginning of the year or a mid-year get to know you more
(like we did).
After reading the
book the kids were split into pairs.
They had to discuss the interests on the classroom connection page
(favorite food, sports, subject, etc) and fill out their boxes while engaging
in conversation to see what they had in common.
Then, they sorted their interests on their papers and shared their
findings. I loved that some of the kids
said that they were best friends but so different or that I had no idea that we
liked the same holidays. They really enjoyed this and it was a great way to
teach that being different is what makes you…YOU!
I paired up with
this CUTIE!

freebie by visiting Third Grade Thinkers blog.
