As you all know, our third graders recently finished a trimester long unit on biography study. We finished the unit off with an Authors' Tea Party. Sadly, one of our classmates was sick and could not be there. Luckily, her classmates understood how important presenting her biography would be and offered to watch her present her biography alone the following week. We even took pictures and made a PowerPoint movie of Madysen's story to send to her uncle who sadly couldn't make it because he lives so far away.
Madysen's biography was special because it was about her Uncle Troy. Her uncle works in the air force and has been on duty in Iraq three times! Madysen is very proud of him and wrote an amazing story of his life so far. In addition to her biography Madysen created a poster with lots of photographs of her uncle along with her own illustrations. Our class loved Madysen's biography.
We clapped after she finished every chapter and had many comments of praise for her when she was done. Devon even told her that he knew her biography was better than his! Madysen was beaming with pride when her own personal Authors' Tea was done and so was her mom who came to watch her. Great job Madysen!
