Dear Parents,
This year we will be introducing the students to the Caldecott Medal winning books through a year-long project. This project will teach them to write a summary of the main ideas of a story. The Caldecott Medal is awarded to the artist of the most distinguished Children’s Picture Book. The picture book is an excellent tool to use in learning how to develop a summary. The list of Caldecott Medal Winners is attached and is also linked to our Third Grade and CKS Library web sites. Here are the project requirements:
- Read a Caldecott Medal Winner book
- Secure a pack of 4 x 6 lined index cards
- List the Title (be sure to underline)
- List the author and illustrator
- List the year awarded the Caldecott Medal
- Compose a summary
- Indent
- 4 – 6 sentences stating the MAIN ideas of the story
- May use manuscript - spelling and neatness count
- Draw a scene or character on the back of the index card related to the story
- One card due every FRIDAY morning for a reading grade
- Students are required to check out a Caldecott Medal book on their assigned library day
- Students may use Caldecott books from home and the classroom.
Thank you for your support!

Power Writing
Power Writing is teaching the student to make an outline before they begin writing a paragraph. A good third grade paragraph is at least 8 sentences. Here is the format:
1. Topic sentence
2. Main idea 3. detail
2. Main idea 3. detail
2. Main idea 3. detail
4. Closing sentence
Once the student has filled in their outline with just words and ideas, they can begin to write their sentences from their outline.
