In the Classroom
We really began to learn all about our new math program this week. Our focus areas included telling time to the nearest minute, estimating and rounding using a number line, and subtracting numbers using a number grid as a resource.
In writing this week, students began their classmate interviews. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday learning about each other through interview questions. On Thursday, we began turning those answers into complete sentences. We will continue this process next week in preparation for publishing.
We also began our weekly routine of Weekly Journals on Friday. Please see the note taped to the inside cover of the journal for more information. I hope every family can find the time to write back to their third grader!
We spent time in reading this week setting up our classroom routines. Students toured the classroom library and practiced getting and returning books. We discussed and made a list of what we expect and want during reading time. Finally, we talked about how to choose Just Right books from the library to enhance our reading skills. Students loved getting to independently read!
In social studies this week, we studied symbols. Each student was asked to create a class flag to be a symbol of our classroom community. We voted on which flag we wanted to represent our class, and Peyton S.'s flag was the winner!
