We had so much rich math discourse during our 3-Act Math activity! Students were highly engaged and loved being assigned roles within their groups. It was wonderful to hear them collaborating, sharing strategies, and building on each otherβs ideas.
Definitely an unforgettable experience dissecting a squid in third grade today! Their background knowledge of the sea and sea creatures is expanding so much π¦π
I love seeing students take charge in their learning! Using our W&W curriculum, students participated in a gallery walk to access prior knowledge in the different texts weβve read about how scientists explore the sea. Then, they contributed their ideas in a Socratic Seminar! π
Thank you Mrs. Squires for bringing in day old turkeys! It was neat comparing them to the baby chickens we have, oh and the baby ducks! Itβs been pretty eventful up here in third grade π£
We started learning how to find the theme in a story. After reading the story, Lillyβs Purple Plastic Purse, students had to come up with a theme or lesson that they took away from the story. I was beyond impressed with their βtake awaysβ so we had to make theme posters!
After reading Creepy Carrots, students had to work together to build a model of a fence to keep the Creepy Carrots from getting out, with limited supplies! It was a fun way to incorporate a stem project with some literacy and science! ππ§
Started our Friday with a fun morning meeting activity where students had to create an alphabet story! We made it all the way to Z with lots of laughs and smiles ππ
