We had another successful day in third grade
today!
We worked with cause and effect to start our reading
off. After discussing, defining, and adding information to our notebooks,
we made cartoons. They drew a cause-and-effect cartoon to add to their
notebooks. The example we first saw was a girl sticking a balloon with a
pin. The effect picture showed the balloon popping.
We also worked with similes and metaphors. They both
compare two things. Similes use the words "as" and
"like." For example, "I am as happy as a
lark!" I know you can think of several, and may not have even known what
they were called. "You're toast!" is a metaphor. Notice
that it compares two things in another way. Figurative language is so much
fun!
In math we practiced addition after using the base ten
blocks. The children took turns making the given numbers. Then we
added and showed regrouping using the blocks. Math is one of those
subjects that can be shown and done in more than one way. I use different
approaches so that I can hopefully get across to all learners!
In social studies we worked with our maps in our
newspaper. I can't wait to finish the first one. I want you to see
how neat these are!
I sent home book orders. They are due next Thursday.
Our secret word is "alliteration." We
discussed this word today!
