We had a very busy day in third grade today. We
started with a page that the students had to read, then follow the
directions. They were simple ones to start off with.
In reading we compared two of our stories, and discussed
what was happening with the main characters at different times in the
books. We also worked more on our dream catchers. We did a simple
phonics review, as well. We are doing these so that I can see if I need
to spend more time on phonics with anyone.
I introduced spelling aerobics today. Ask your child
to demonstrate this for you. Our words for this week are:
- head
- ready
- rock
- clock
- snack
- does
- sock
- mess
- slump
- pond
- step
- bugs
- crops
- jumps
- mug
- stop
- shut
- clap
- luck
- sick
In math we worked more with comparing numbers and ordering
them. It is tricky for them to go from putting numbers in order from
least to greatest, to putting them in order from greatest to least.
In social studies we discussed what a globe is, and what it
shows. The one we saw today had the continents, the oceans, and the
equator. I taught them a poem that we will continue to use. It can
be sung to the tune of Jingle Bells. This helps them to
remember them.
Have a terrific Tuesday!
