Today Gr. 3s did hands on learning collecting and comparing soil samples from the forest floor, stream bed and a field. They loved being in nature! 🌲🐞☀️

@kristie_compton @SoundSyllable Exactly!

We cannot depend on silent reading to increase our students' reading skills! They could be misreading or not reading at all.😕
We must listen to them read and provide corrective feedback! If you use Partner Reading, be intentional with your partners.🙂

With my Gr3s, I use #tvolearn all the time. Melissa was great as she did a virtual presentation with my class to introduce it and it was free! #SCDSB

@LiseDshine @SCDSBLiteracy We are just using coloured pieces as markers and a die to work our way around the board. We decided the black squares are free spaces. When a student lands on a word they read it, look for spelling patterns (magic e, blends) then put the word in a sentence.
