Welcome to 3D!

The Grade 3's have experienced their first week of school. The students are starting to find their way around the classroom and will continue to practice their daily routines. Each student understands that they serve an important role in the classroom. These super smart third graders came up with a set of classroom rules that they believe are extremely important in order to have a happy and welcoming environment to learn in. 3D parents should be super proud of their third grader because they are kind, helpful, and brighten up our classroom in their own special way. LITERACY We started off the week by reading the  Invisible Boy  by Trudy Ludwig. The invisible boy, Brian feels that nobody ever seems to notice hi m or think to include him in their group, game, or birthday party, until, a new student joins his class.  When Justin, the new boy arrives, Brian is the first to make him feel welcome. This story  shows how small acts of kindness can help children feel i...

LITERACY Writing:  The students finished their elaborative detail writing project about the season of fall. I began this week by reading Thankful by Eileen Spinelli  to the class. This book inspired our follow up class discussion about things were are thankful for in our lives.

As the students shared their poems with their peers, I have to admit that I got a little misty eyed. So sweet and thoughtful.    Reading/Phonics:  Congratulations to the second 3D student to read a total of 600 minutes at home!!!! He hopped in his car and drove to the first pit stop - Canada!

Week 24 & 25

LITERACY Writing:  In the last two weeks, the students learned how to write in a poem format. They learned what the word stanza  means and how to organize their writing. The theme of the poem was friendship. First, I read the book "Don't Need Friends" to the class. The class discussion was about how the characters (a rat and a stray dog) changed their minds about having friends throughout the story. As a whole class, the students filled an anchor chart titled "How I Can Be A True Friend". Secondly, the class read a poem titled "Friends" that followed a pattern that the students would follow in their final copy. They thought about activities they enjoyed doing with their friends and two things that they would need to carry out the activities. The students picked four activities to write about and plugged it into the poem's stanzas.  The students continue to edit their sentences using the acronym  CUPS  to remind them about what to look...
