We had another successful day in third grade.
We started with a DROPS math review for morning work.
We went over several of them together, because some struggled.
In reading we worked with our vocabulary words. We
also continued working with sentences and sentence fragments. The biggest
obstacle right now is determining if a sentence is a complete sentence or a
sentence fragment. Some are very easy to tell, but some challenge them.
We also did our first lexicon page. A lexicon is
basically each student's own dictionary. I choose a word that is somehow a part
of our curriculum or our quotes for the week. There are several steps
that we must do. Today we did the whole page together. The first
step is to write the word, then to step the word (write in syllables), then to
write the correct pronunciation, etc. I even mixed in a little math with
it. They seemed to enjoy this.
In math we worked more with place value and used the stamps
to make given numbers.
Our music teacher is taking money for the students'
recorders. They are $3. If you haven't sent your money,
please do so when it is convenient.
Have a great day!
