The Adventures of 3rd Grade

This past week we took the time to reflect, clear our mind, and really think about what it means to have empathy and also what it means to be a good friend.

We met David Levine, and we can all say that we are better people because of it. He is wonderful and the stories he shared will carry with us for a long time.

He told us a story about his sons playing soccer and how the little things we do to lift each other up are BIG things.

It is all about the connections we make to people. The kids loved this experience and it was time well spent.

What are literature circles?

Categories:

Reading/writing

Check out 3c here:

Each child meets in groups of 3 or 4 to discuss the book. The students are taking turns being the group leader. They are learning to agree or disagree and to share their ideas about the chapter. They discuss comprehension questions and the each one has a different job to share. The jobs are artist, words, discussion, and connector. They LOVE to meet in literature circles!

In 3A we are growing a Zombie plant. It is called a resurrection plant. If it does not get water it will die and if it gets more water the Zombie plant will start growing again. The Zombie Plant lives in the desert . When the Zombie Plant dies it curls into a ball.
