Dear Families,
We have had a wonderful week of learning in third grade! We have been so impressed with how focused and insightful our students have been. Here is an update:
Reading: We have been focused on our reading 'grit'. Students completed a reading grit survey, analyzed it, and then made goals to improve their grit. We also selected our October Reader's of the Month! We are excited to announce that Weston and Dom were chosen for their excitement and focus during reading time.
Writing: We focused on building our writing stamina by completing Memory Bingo and a memory write in our writer's notebooks. We also launched our first writing piece, a personal narrative! Students will be learning about characteristics of a personal narrative and ways to brainstorm possible writing topics.
