We have been busy learning this week! In Math we have been working on area. On Tuesday we started Flexible Math Groups. We traveled to other 3rd grade teacher’s classrooms to learn about Area. In Music we are watching a movie called Music Man. In P.E. we are practicing chasing and fleeing. In Writer’s Workshop we are working on Essays. We are living with our eyes open and noticing and observing things that might spark an idea to write an essay about. In Social Studies we are becoming experts on the Southeast region. We finished up our regions project by learning the different landforms, the climate, the natural resources, and we learned all about the states in the Southeast region. We wrote out scripts & will be recording our movie to teach the other 3rd grade classes about the Southeast. We started our Great State Reports! Each of us are studying a state in the Southeast regions and learning all about it! Our Word Wall words the past two weeks have had prefixes and suffixes. We learned an awesome song about where prefixes go (at the beginning of a word, UP FRONT) and how they change the meaning of a word. In Reader’s Workshop we have been working on questioning. Good readers always ask questions, so we have been working on finding the answers to the 5 big questions: WHO is the main character?, WHAT is the problem?, WHY is it a problem?, WHEN/WHERE did the story take place?, HOW is the problem solved?
We started working with our 3rd grade ONLINE buddies who go to school in Mount Prospect, Il. We started by emailing them some questions & we are writing a winter story together using Google Docs.
Speedy is going home with Natalie this weekend! Don’t forget…next Friday is Polar Express Day! Remember to wear your pajamas!
