Third Grade Update
Wow, things have been busy in third grade and in the Humphrey household. As you all know my son got married last weekend. It was a wonderful weekend and we are all beyond thrilled. Now I feel like I have some free time on my hands...sort of :)
We have had a great few weeks. Last week was a two day week, but still felt like we accomplished so much! The kids finished their unit 2 test in math and I was very pleased with their work. I am encouraging them to go back and check their work to look for mistakes or things they might want to add to. This is good practice as they get older.
In reading they are reading, "good fit," books. They were happy to pick their own book. I meet with them daily to ask them questions and listen to them read. As they finish they will complete a book report and share it with the class.
Social Studies has been the BIG hit! We are doing a simulation of the first year at Plymouth Colony. The kids are having a blast! They get to practice working as a team, decision making, leadership skills, writing, and being very creative!
We are also having fun writing poetry! Last week we wrote "Concrete Poetry" about trees. They added them to their background that was made with craypas! They are beautiful!
