We’ve had another productive week in third grade, with students working hard to wrap up old projects and begin studying new material! In writer’s workshop, third graders wrapped up their endangered animal reports this week. To conclude the project, students created webpages to showcase their research and written work. See below for some examples and look forward to a more in-depth look at student webpages during conference week! During reader’s workshop this week, students began new book clubs. The theme this time around is “series”, with every club reading a book that is a part of a series. The hope is that third graders will get hooked and continue reading a specific author’s works. In both reader’s and writer’s workshops, third graders also practiced written responses to reading. They’re starting to really get the hang of it and will soon transition over to the computer to type out their responses! In math, third graders concluded their study of Unit 5: Multiplication, Division and Area and have transitioned into Unit 6: Geometry. We started things off with practice in finding both the perimeter and area of irregular shapes. Next week, we’ll dive into geometric vocabulary and shape identification. Comments are closed.
