A Sneak Peek into Our Week

Room 210 is having a wonderful start to the school year!  Our main focus for the first week of school was getting to know each other better, understanding expectations and routines of the classroom, and developing communication and team building skills together as a classroom.  

Here is a "sneak peek" at our second week:

Interactive Read-Aloud:  We read Coach John Wooden's Inch & Miles: Journey to Success last week and will read a related chapter book titled The Heroes of Beesville this week. Last week's read aloud presented students with different "building blocks of success" that individuals need in order to do their personal best.  Ask your child what building blocks they remember, as they will serve as a foundation for discussions during the entire school year.  

Reading: Students will be introduced to reading workshop and discover what it looks like in third grade. Students will spend the week deciding how to make book choices based off of level and interest.

Writing:  Students will interview a peer in the classroom.  Then, they will be writing "My Buddy & Me" papers where they write about themselves, their buddy, and then similarities they found between themselves and their buddies.

Math: Students completed the Everyday Math Unit 1 pre-test today.  We will begin Unit 1 later this week. The Unit 1 Family Letter,  correlating games, and additional resources can be found on the following page of the Third Grade Website: https://www.snthirdgrade.com/math

Social Studies/Science:  During our social studies/science block, students will continue participating in team-building activities.  We are working on developing life-long team-building and communication skills that will be helpful to students at any age!

Important Updates:

• Students began using their classroom planner last week.  Along with the green homework folder, the planner and homework folder should be taken home each afternoon and returned each morning.  There is homework page on the Third Grade Website that is updated on a daily basis: https://www.snthirdgrade.com/room-210-noecker-homework
• Every Friday graded work will be passed back to students
