Hockey Players Ms. Verreault's Grade 3 Class

Here are some books that began our first discussion (the making of our hockey word bank):



Writing Activity Based on the Book: The Magic Hockey Skates

If you had magic skates that granted you 3 wishes, what would your wishes be? Here is a list of the players that were chosen:

1. Catherine Ward 2. Eric Staal 3. Alex Kovalev 4. Ken Dryden 5. Carey Price 6. Thomas Plekanec 7. Brian Gionta 8. George Laraque 9. Kirk McLean 10. Sidney Crosby 11. Don Cherry 12. Kim St. Pierre 13. Terry Sawchuck 14. Tim Horton 15. Maurice Richard 16. Alex Auld

This week, my students have done their research for their hockey player. They have started writing their biographies. The rough copies should be done by the end of next week.

This week, we have also started a media project for both Visual Arts and E.L.A.

The students are creating their own hockey teams. For this project, they needed to come up with: 1. A team name 2. A team logo 3. A team jersey 4. A chant for their team

We have finished our biographies and have started blabberizing!!!! Here are some examples:

As a final project, the students were asked to design themselves as a hockey player using bits and pieces of construction paper. Instead of drawing a face, the students took pictures of themselves and cut out the heads to then glue on their art project. The background was done in pastel. Seeing as I cannot upload the pictures to this site, I will bring some projects in to share with you at our next meeting.
