East Elementary 3rd graders in 3B, engaged in a cross curricular activity of Adopt a Puppy, when not working on ISASP (state) testing. Each student picked, named, and owned a stuffed pup. The week-long theme had many different activities, from writing a news article, reading about their dog breed, math activities of buying supplies and making a schedule for the puppy. In addition, the students created a bed or bedroom for each little furry friend. The week culminated with the students bringing their pup home to keep as their very own!
