Students continue patterning study and literature study using Anansi

We had another successful day in third grade! There were a few children who I sent notes home with today, as I don’t think they had given the corrected notes with dates and times for conferences to you. Please ask your child if he or she has a round note for you. It has a peacock on it.

We continued with patterning by using in and out boxes. I first demonstrated this by giving a student a certain number of markers. Then he would go to the hall and get the number I told him. For example, I might give a student 3 markers. I would tell them to grab 2 more. We would do this several times. The hall represented an in and out machine. The students then had to figure out the pattern. In this instance it was to add 2 to whatever the student already had. But some were subtraction rules. They seemed to do well on these. We also wrote numbers starting with 101 through 200. We are trying to practice writing letters and numbers.

We continues our multiple skills using the Anansi theme. We finished our packet, and covered homonyms, long and short vowel sounds, and choosing the correct word (comprehension). We also had some time to read an Anansi book.

We made a simple spider book today. Tomorrow we will work on one that is a little more complicated.

We will also take the Istation test tomorrow.

Have a great evening.
