A busy last 2 weeks in 3rd grade

Our short week in 3rd...October 16-18
Reading: We began our historical fiction unit by reading a classic novel as a class, Sarah, Plain and Tall. Students will learn all the components of historical fiction. Also, we will use this book as a way to learn how to do successful book clubs. 





Happy Birthday Oliver!




Tuesday - We celebrated all of our hardwork this year with a Gem Party. Students are working hard to be a class community of learners. I am so proud of their hardwork. 










 Wednesday - Students learn and practice how to stop and jot in their reading for discussions. Then use their ideas and what they learned to write about reading. Their thoughts and ideas are strong and their evidence proves it!




 Happy birthday Mrs. Haradon! 
Students took some time to tell Mrs. Haradon what makes her special.

Friday we worked on a STEM project that helps develop the 4C's: Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. It was The Marshmellow Challenge.

It was fun to see all the different ideas! Ask your child how they felt about this challenge.

What a hot week! In and out of the classroom....take a look!

Monday Buddy Reading:  Students read a Time for Kids  magazine with their reading partner looking for strong vocabulary words. This was a way to practice working on reading comprehension, collaborating with a peer, and practiced our reading strategy of finding good words in reading to increase our vocabulary.  Tuesday Real World Math: Students continued working with their math partner to discuss the Real World Math problem from Friday. They used the app, Explain Everything, to set up slides to show their thinking in all areas: Notices, Wonders, Main Question, Low-High Estimate, and Math Work. This app allows students to show their thinking in many ways: drawing, typing, pictures, and audio recording. Students had time to work with their partner and then voice recorded their thinking at home on how they solved the main question. This is an activity in math we will do each Friday using the voice recording as a way for students to explain their thinking and develop th...

The Grove-Glenview

The students had an incredible time learning what it was like to be a Native American child living on the prairie in Illinois! Our trip to the Grove was a huge success! Students took part in hands-on activities in a replica of a Native American longhouse. The Potawatomi Indians used The Grove environment prior to the arrival of the Kennicott family. This unique program explored how this group of people lived and impacted the land, and looks closely at their culture and heritage. Topics included the importance of communal living, procurement, and processing of foods and medicine, tool use, singing and dancing, handiwork and games.
