week 12-13 Highlights

 Our classroom received a grant from Meemic Insurance for $100 in books! We are excited to add to our book club collection.

Preschool buddies this month focused on what we are all thankful for. The entire preschool board was filled with suggtions from preschoolers and their buddies. Then we helped them create thankful turkey's to take home for Thanksgiving!

 We were finally able to celebrate our personal narrative writing stories. Each third grader created a small moment story and recorded themselves reading it on a podcast site. These can be accessed if you scan the QR code on their locker at school.

Week Eleven Highlights

The kids also had a great time learning more about the Nomad lifestyle. Here are a few projects getting close to the finish line.

Week Ten Highlights

Heading into this upcoming week, we will working on our nomad projects. This project starts Tuesday and kids will have a checklist of items to include in their scene and then they will have to describe three ways in which people lived during this time as they reflect on this life style during Bible times.











One of this week's highlight was the start of super switch. Each super switch group focuses on something a little different to give your third grade reader just what they need. The focuses vary from fluency, accuracy, and comprehension skills. As well as learning to spell using phonics skills.

Writing is another highlight from last week. We are starting to brainstorm ideas that we are experts in. I put up a new bulletin board to help students gain independence in their ability to write. There are examples on a 1-3 star rating for students to see and compare their writing too. We will be using these as we develop our chapters for our informational book.
