First Week of School


It's been a busy week but wonderful week.  All the students have come to school every day ready to learn!  It's great to seem them so eager every day & asking "What are we doing today?"

We have had many exciting learning experiences.  We celebrated the 3rd day of Third grade.  Students brought in 3 objects to describe themselves & shared them with the class.  Students then wrote about the students and what they learned about their new friends.  We played Third Day Scoot & "scooted" around the class answering questions.  We also posed for a third day picture!



We worked in groups to come up with reason Why 3rd Grade Rocks!!!  The consensus was early lunch!!  Then we wrote about the different reasons we came up with.  They will be hanging up at the PTO meeting in a couple of weeks!


 On Thursday we talked about writing sentences with 7 or more words.  Since we are getting bigger our sentences should be more than "I can run. or I like blue."  They need to use more detail.  To instill this skill & a Get to Know You Activity everyone put a glove on & grabbed some M & M's.  For each M & M grabbed they needed to write a sentence with seven or more words.  Then what better way to wash down their M & M's with 7UP to remember to use 7 or more words!  Their sentences were quit unique!!!

To wrap up on Friday we made a Get to Know You bracelet.  The students put different color beads on their pipe cleaners that described them.

What a great week we had!!!  Can't wait to start all over again tomorrow!!  Looking forward to an exciting year with lots of learning opportunities!!!
