We have now completed our first week of third grade and I feel so excited to be working with such a wonderful group of students! In addition to many fun getting-to-know-you activities, we also spent time getting to know the routines of our classroom, and launching some of our first learning units of the year. You can check out some of the activities below!
We began the week by sharing our goals for the year in a special "Hopes and Dreams" Project:
We opened our class library and practiced routines for independent reading:
In social studies, we learned about map features and created maps of our own made-up towns:
We launched our first math unit of the year, which will be focused on multiplication. (For more information about the topics covered in this unit, please find the letter that was sent home in your child's yellow take-home folder.)
Finally, we can't wait for the addition of some new friends to our class: Quiet Critters! These pom-pom creatures will be a tool to help us stay focused during independent work times. We're excited for them to "hatch" next week!
Our year is off to an excellent start and I'm looking forward to many more great weeks together in third grade!
