We have had a busy, but great first week of school in grade 3! We spent the first couple of days getting to know each other by playing games like “question ball” and “get to know you bingo” where we answered questions about ourselves. We also learned everyone’s birthdays by making a “birthday graph”. We wrote our birthdays on Post It notes, and then organized the dates with a graph on the board.
Our theme right now in grade 3 is “Adventure”.
To kick things off, everyone wrote about what adventures they are most excited
about this year. We brainstormed ideas as a class, wrote our ideas on a
treasure map, and displayed them on our bulletin board. If you stop by the
school, please come take a look!
Another thing we started in grade 3 is using our classroom Twitter account. We have really enjoyed creating our tweets as a class, and even sending tweets to Mrs. Lawson and Mrs. Smith’s classroom, as well as Mrs. Sakatch’s class. We have made a class “Twitter Wall” to practice making tweets. This week, each of us wrote what we like about grade 3 so far. Please check out our classroom Twitter account and “follow” us. We would love for you to reply to our tweets and interact with the class! There is a link to our Twitter page on the side, as well as right here.
This week we also made our classroom rules and acted out
scenarios on how to be a positive team player. We also started our Daily 5
reading program and talked about what “Read to Self” looks like!
Thanks for reading about our first week of school. It would be great if you could reply to the post so that the class can hear about your thoughts! Our first week in grade 3 has been filled with new adventures. We are very excited to see what great adventures next week brings!
