Red Ribbon Week is coming up later this month. There are some great spirit days planned. Here’s a heads up in case you want to start planning outfits!
Month: October 2020
Global Read Aloud
All around the world today classrooms are kicking off the Global Read Aloud. Teachers are reading aloud the same book to students in different schools. This year’s chapter book for third grade is Planet Omar: Accidental Trouble Magnet by Zanib Mian. We are looking forward to hearing the book and making connections with students around the country and world. We have partnered with a class in Fishers, Indiana for some Flip Grid fun. Ask your third grader to tell you about it!
Fun Friday
What a busy month we had at school in September! So busy in fact, that I apologize I didn’t find time to update this blog! We have been working hard to get used to our new schedule. Our days are filled with whole group writing instruction, spelling groups, comprehension groups, math fact fluency, math groups, Social Studies/Science Inquiry, and we’ve had PE and Maker Space for the past 2 weeks. We have a room full of in-person learners and some Remote Learners joining us virtually each day. We definitely are busy, but are getting used to the routines and expectations of third grade. On Friday we take some time to reflect on behavior choices and see what work might need to get caught up on. Those learners who have all responsibilities taken care of can enjoy a “Fun Friday” time. Today learners could play with Legos, card games, charades, or dominoes in small groups. Here are a few pictures of today’s fun.
