This is a fun game that you can play by yourself or with family members.  All you need is a single dice, paper and pencil.  Roll the dice and draw the image that represents the number that you rolled.  When done, go ahead and add color, a background and more detail!  Have fun and send me your finished castles!

A Book With a Hole in it

3rd Grade

I hope you enjoy this fun lesson on making a book without using tape or staples to keep it together!  The only supplies that you will need to make the book is the paper and scissors!  You can use whatever you want to decorate the inside and covers....don't copy mine....be creative.  Maybe make a quarantine journal...Below you will find a sheet on how to fold the paper.  I also go over it in the video so use either one.

Let those creative juices flow!
