Third graders getting better at analyzing text of stories


Program day was busy today, but successful!  The children seem to be getting better at procedures, which leaves more time to get things accomplished.  

We were to finish our hidden pictures for morning work this morning.  If they didn't finish then they were to take it home.  The ones that have been turned in look great!  They are getting good at these.  And these are not easy.

We listened to The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree again.  We also took an open book test.  It is very important for them to go back into texts/books/passages and verify what they thing the answer is.  Some are too stubborn to go back to check.  This is where careless mistakes get made.  We are working on that.  This is a skill that will travel with them throughout their academic careers.

We had to read clues and determine the words that were then added to letters already on the line to make another word.  Then we had to find the word in the word search.  

In math we touched upon counting money and determining which boxes held sums of less than a dollar and more than a dollar.  

The program went well today.  I can't wait to see it tonight.  They looked adorable!

If your child requires make-up, he or she needs to be here by 5:30.  If not, then your child needs to be here by 5:45.
