A Sneak Peek at Our Week
Room 212 had a wonderful start to the school year! Our main focus for the first week of school was getting to know each other better, understanding expectations and routines of the classroom, and developing communication and team building skills together as a classroom. Here is a "sneak peek" at our second week:
Interactive Read-Aloud: We will finish reading Coach John Wooden's Inch & Miles: Journey to Success this week and will finish the week reading related shorter chapter books. This book presented students with different "pillars of success" individuals need in order to do their personal best. Ask your child what pillars they remember! These "pillars to success" serve as a foundation for discussions during students' entire third grade year.
Reading: This week students will be introduced to reading workshop and discover what it looks like in third grade. Students will spend the week deciding how to make book choices based off of level and interest.
Writing: This week, students will interview a peer in the classroom. Then, students will be writing "My Buddy & Me" papers where they write about themselves, their buddy, and then similarities they found between themselves and their buddies. Their work will be posted on their student blogs later this week!
Math: Towards the end of this week we will be starting Unit 1 of Everyday Math. The Unit 1 Family Letter, correlating games, and additional resources can be found on the following page of the Third Grade Website: https://www.snthirdgrade.com/math
Social Studies/Science: During our social studies/science block, students will continue participating in team-building activities. Team-building and communication skills that the children are developing are life-long skills that will be helpful to them at any age!
Important Updates:
- Students will begin using their classroom planner this week. Along with the green homework folder, the planner and homework folder should be taken home and returned each night. There is homework page on the Third Grade Website that is updated on a daily basis: https://www.snthirdgrade.com/room-212-shakespeare-homework
- Every Friday graded work will be passed back to students
