Third Grade News
Week of January 12th
Diversity Day!
To celebrate Diversity Day at CBA, 3rd grade paired up with 4th grade. We read the picture book, Martin's Big Words, and talked about the importance of some of Dr. Martin Luther King's ideas. Each student chose their own Big Word to represent what they hoped and dreamed for and recorded it on the App, Big Words. We also created "Unique People" in small groups. Each student was responsible for drawing one part of a person, while keeping it hidden from their group members. When each student was finished they ended up with quite a unique individual! We are excited to see our Diversity video at Barnes & Noble night tonight at 6:30pm.
Reading Groups
In Reading Groups this week, students worked on identifying characters, setting and plot in the stories we read. Some students did a character collage of different characters in Charlotte's Web, identifying different characteristics of the characters. Others read a drama and took on the part of different characters in the story, Pushing Up the Sky. Next week, we will do Reader's Theater. Small groups will work on oral reading fluency and collaboration as they put on a small play.
As a whole group, we began reading Mr. Popper's Penguins! We are so excited for the story and to begin researching different types of penguins and their habitats.
Math Test on Understanding Division!
We have been working hard on understanding what division is. We are becoming vocab rock stars, explaining how we are solving division problems, using vocab words such as quotient, dividend and divisor. Students will take a test on understanding division on Friday.
