They Wondered and They Learned!
Mrs. Aldridge's third-grade students at Wildlight Elementary created "I Wonder/I Learned" anchor charts based on the standard of asking and answering questions about key details in a text. The text they studied this week was a nonfiction book called "Ugly Animals." Not only did the third graders work hard in their peer groups, but they did an amazing job presenting their work!! Mrs. Aldridge is beyond proud of them!

Operation Reading
Third-grade classes at Hilliard Elementary School had a ‘Reading Surgery’ day. They went to three different operating rooms to complete tests on the foot (main idea), the arm (point of view), and the kidney (character traits). When they completed the ‘tests,’ they filled out the incident report, had their supervising surgeon sign off, and bandaged up that part of the patient! Students had a fabulous time reviewing reading skills in the operating room! Students were given patients to complete different tests on as they worked through each reading skill.
