Biscuit's Bug

Biscuit had a big bug project earlier in his third-grade year. He wanted to do hornets, but he couldn't find a library book about them. And that's where they were supposed to get their information.

So he ended up doing his project on bees. And it was pretty in-depth.

They started with outlines and summary sheets. Then they wrote a glossary of terms. The made a list of sources. It was impressive how much work he did on it.

They had to create a book with all their information. They had to have a table of contents, chapters with headings, pictures, graphics and other stuff.

On the back of the book, they had "praises." They had to let their teacher and some of their classmates read the book then write a sentence about it. Stuff like, "This book had more information about bees than any other book I've read."

They had a "bug night" at school where all the books were on display and the kids could take their parents around to show off their work. They had also created a big mural in the hallway. The kids had drawn, colored and cut out a picture of their bugs.

Here are some pictures:

See the bee?

The sign above his head says "Meet the Authors." It took me a bit to figure it out.

The kids got bug-themed treats. The sticker says, "Congratulations! You've caught the "writing bug."
