Welcome to the Second Half of Third Grade!
With all the benchmark/F&P/PALS (reading level) testing, we’ve been off our blog posting game. Check out a few of the things we have been doing over the past few weeks…in between tests, of course!
Early in the year, Ellie and Nickole took it upon themselves to write letters to President Obama detailing their concerns for the environments and animal populations around us. We totally forgot about those letters until we received an embossed letter from the office of the White House! The picture below shows his lovely response and a video of the girls getting to read their letter in front of the class! Thanks, President Obama!
We sent a picture of us braving the cold recess temperatures to channel 12, hoping we might make it onto the “Dress for the Weather” segment on the morning broadcast.
We finished up our unit on measurement and took a “team test” helping each other to discuss the most reasonable answers!
We got a new pencil sharpener!
We prepared for the math benchmark like champions!
We learned what it means to make inferences in fiction texts and practiced our skills on one of our favorites comprehension sites, Into the Book!
And we learned all about natural cycles. Here we are taking a BrainPop quiz together about what causes the seasons with Nickole as the facilitator.
There’s always something great going on in room 36!
