 * Description **
 * We read Patricia Polacco’s ** **// The Keeping Quilt //**** . In this story Patricia’s family makes a quilt to help them remember their family, friends and culture of Russia. We made a class quilt to help us remember the 2008-2009 school year; each student drew a picture describing their favorite memory of third grade. We then turned our keeping quilt into a podcast. **


 * Description **
 * This podcast focuses on Mood. Mood has been a very difficult skill for the students to understand and apply in their reading. My hope is that this podcast will simplify it for them. Enjoy! **

 * Reflection **
 * Using Voicethread was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. It was easy to manage, and I was able to incorporate it into the lesson without difficulty. The students really enjoyed using it and could not wait to watch it! I can see how this tool could be used throughout the school year. **
