Another full and fun week
The last week in August was full of fun events and projects. We had our GlamTrash fashion show, in which the kids used recyclable materials to make their own costumes to show off for the whole school. Ms. Nicole was kind enough to visit our class and guide the kids in using the materials to make meaningful art. In the coming week, we will further explore how art can be made out of anything, as we visit the Art des Descartes exhibit at the Stables Gallery in Kit Carson park for a field trip on Tuesday.
In class, we finished some important work that will serve us throughout the year. We completed our Class Charter, which the whole class agreed to and signed. It states how we want to feel every day in school, and what we all need to do to work together in order to ensure that everyone feels that way. We also kicked off our Third-grade Read-o-thon by completing several reading tracker forms about some of the stories we have read together and on our own. As the term progresses, students will earn "feet" that we will all decorate and place around the room to see who can go the farthest with their reading before winter break. The students also enjoyed playing games like soccer and dodge ball for PE, and doing dance and singing for specials.
As we kick off the month of September, we should have a lot to cover during the short week after Labor Day. In Math, we will continue practicing our basic addition, subtraction, and multiplication skills, so that we can all reach the point where we know the answers to these types of problems automatically. Parents are encouraged to practice with their children at home. We will further be covering time and how to read a clock correctly. In Literacy, we will continue working in small groups, which will allow the students to work with others at the same reading level as them, and give them the opportunity to do several different types of activities related to some of the texts that we read. In Science, we will start learning about undersea creatures and some of the ways they can be different from and similar to one another.
