Farming & Charlotte's Web Unit

We started our Farming & Charlotte's Web unit after Christmas break. Madison is really enjoying learning about the farm life. She's also reading Charlotte's Web. She loves this movie and book! She's had Charlotte's Web read to her a few times, but this is the first time she's reading the book on her own. Her homework is to read a chapter a night. The next morning I ask her a few questions about the chapter she read. The Charlotte's Web unit is on 3rd grade level which is awesome! She's doing great and breezing right through it! So far she's wrote a report on E.B. White, the author of the book and has made a farm life collage. She also interviewed her Daddy (the former chicken farmer from Alabama) ;)
 


 
Here's Madison's Farm Life collage. Using local newspapers and magazines, she clipped out pictures and words and glued them to a poster board. Then I had her write by the pictures explaining what they are.
