Third graders study genre

We had such a productive day. We are working on genre in reading.  We first put the types in our notebooks.  Then we matched the stories/descriptions to each.  After that we had a scavenger hunt using the books in our room to find an example of each.  We even found some in our large reading book.  We discovered how some overlap and can be more than one genre.  This is a difficult concept for third graders.  They want a definite right/wrong answer.  This sparked great discussions.

We put our pictures on snowflakes.  I love doing this because children, just like so snowflakes, are unique individuals.  

We worked on a graph in math.  If they didn't finish, they brought it home.

Our reading assignment tonight is 2 fables from the book I sent home.  

Please help your child to remember his or her Wednesday folders.
