We have enjoyed another fun and exciting week here in third grade. We ended the week meeting with our book buddies from Mrs. Fowle’s class. We had a great time together! We have fun being the “older” students.
Language Arts: I had the kids use a scoring rubric and look over some of their writing and analyze how they did. I do this to help them see what they need to improve on to become better writers.
We are working on the anthology “Miss Nelson is Missing”. We also read aloud a book “The Gardner” and did several activities. We also take time to read and discuss our Weekly Readers.
We are currently learning cursive. The children are doing a wonderful job. This will be an ongoing process throughout the year.
Spelling: These past few weeks we practiced words ending with –s or –es and also words that have consonant blends. Thank you again for returning your test booklets!
Math: We are still doing many review activities in our math program. We have done frames and arrows, many coin activities, calculator review, place value, and more addition and subtraction.
Technology: The children just finished two weeks of a program called Type to Learn. This is a fantastic computer program that teaches the students to type without looking at the keyboard and constantly increase speed.
Science: We started our unit on the Human Body. The children are sharing what they already know and are having a blast learning new information.
