We had a good start to the
new year in third grade.
We started with a reading
passage about Betsy Ross.
In math we discussed some 3-D
shapes and their qualities/attributes.
In reading we read a
book. We also went over the vocabulary. They were put into groups
of 2 or 3 and asked to come up with their own definition for each vocabulary
word. After we discussed theirs, I handed out the ones that are in the
glossary. It was great to see their eyes when they realized they had
gotten pretty close with their definitions. The biggest obstacle was
getting them to write definitions, not sentences.
We did “Tear-a-Part” art
today. No cutting allowed on this assignment. They turned out
great!
