Happy Friday… the 13th!
While others may believe in superstitions, we here in 3rd grade faced today with the same enthusiasm as any other. We filled our week to the brim with new and exciting experiences and also found the time to breathe while saying, “namaste.” Read on to find out more about our wonderful week!
During math we spent time expanding our rounding skills by adding more digits, but still rounding to the nearest ten. By the end of the week, we were rounding six-digit numbers without breaking a sweat. Yeah! Reading/Phonics required us to use our know-how, literally, as we focused on the OW sound! Students practiced spelling with the OW sound through sound banking, word/sentence dictation, shared reading passages, syllabication, and sound isolation. Third Grade Angels reached full potential with a final activity: Cereal Box Writing! Ask your kiddo what they named their cereal?! Deep dives were steeped in culture and amazing facts about mammals! Students learned a good bit about different types of music, arts & crafts, and of course food that helped shape the culture of West Virginia. Our Zoology deep dive focused on mammals this week. We even got a visit from a cute, small mammal – courtesy of our very own Lily W. Thank you! Students also got to go with the flow in Yoga this week which helped us find our calm center. As we officially approach the half-way point of September, we look forward to sharing even more wonderful learning experiences!
