With the first full week of school complete, third graders are really getting in the swing of things! Names have been learned, friendships have been formed, and teamwork is the name of the game. Academically, third graders have been reviewing addition and subtraction facts, working on topic sentences for paragraphs, building their reading stamina and analyzing the history of Denver. It's been a busy week!
One of our stand-out lessons involved third graders partnering up and drawing possible writing topics from a paper bag. Students had to collaborate with one another to develop topic sentences for their subjects, and eventually write a full paragraph about it in their writer's notebook. Third graders did an excellent job developing topic sentences, and many of their paragraphs highlighted their comedic abilities! Business:
