A Thoughtful Classroom Update
Living and Learning in Third Grade
Nightly Homework
Just a reminder that each night students need to be making time for reading and math fact fluency! Reading can be enjoyed independently or as a partnership! Math fact fluency needs to be completed fast and furiously! Please help time your child! This high pressure practice will help them be more successful on the Friday assessment they take in class!
Reader's Workshop
Reading really is cool! Our workshop is well under way! Students have enjoyed the daily mini lessons and their time for independent reading practice. Learning how to read is a skill from the past! All student must NOW read to learn!! What a mindset shift!
Math Workshop
Students have been learning the problem solving process expected for third grade. They have completed individual and group activities all week to support this learning target! Ask your child to define the phrase, "meaningful discussion!"
Writing Workshop
Students are filling their journals fast and furiously with small, personal narrative stories! Next week they will be selecting just one of these stories and move forward to grow and develop a published piece!!
Just some reminders...
IXL is a great resource for practicing fluency and math skills!
