Mrs. Schleyer's Grade 3 class

Mrs Schleyer's class continued the discussion of mice as characters in children's books.

• Poppy
• Three Blind Mice (the classic nursery rhyme)
• The Nutcracker (the play that the class went to at the Children's Theater and many books here in our Media Center)
• If you take a mouse to school
• If you take a mouse to the movies
• Ralph S. Mouse

Charlotte's Web came up for discussion and it was decided that the character in this book is really a rat. What is the difference between mice and rats? If you know or can find out, post a comment on this blog.
