We are off and running here in third grade! The students have done a wonderful job making the transition from the comfort of the K-2 wing up to the 3-5 wing with all of the "big kids".
A big idea that we have been talking about in these first days of school is all of the things that we can do as individuals and as learners that we are proud of. Outside our classroom is a list of "I Can" Statements that celebrate the many achievements of third graders. We have singers, athletes, dancers, jewelry makers, and more! Inside our class, posted on the front board, is a chart listing all of the academic "I Can" Statements that we are proud of.
This week we are celebrating the following "I Can" Statements:
In ELA- We can ask and answer questions to show that we understand the stories we read, and use evidence from the text to support our thinking.
In Math- We can find patterns in addition and explain them using what we know about how numbers work. We can also count by 1's, 10's, 100's, and 1,000's to 10,000.
In Science- We can think and write like a scientist by describing what we see, feel, hear, and smell.
And in Social Studies- We can identify our continent, country, state, and town.
Aren't these wonderful accomplishments? Be sure to congratulate your third grader for achieving these goals!
Please be in touch any time if you have any questions about what we are learning in class.
I hope to meet you all at Open House on September 17th at 7:00 pm.
