Class Happenings:
We had a fun full week diving into our curriculum.  We started our Reading Workshop. The kids explored our classroom library and found "just right books" for themselves. We've discussed at length the role of a good reader and what that looks like in our classroom. Check out our Padlet discussion on how they kids responded to this question this week. (Continue below the Padlet post for more important information).

We also started our Place Value and Rounding Unit.  We examined place values up to hundred thousand by writing numbers in standard form, expanded form and written (word) form. We did this in a variety of ways this week.  The kids seemed to loved the Place Value Card Game and using the white boards.  
We also started writing in our newly decorated Writer's Journals. We are generating ideas for our personal narrative. We began by thinking of all the special people in our lives and fun places we have experienced to spark story ideas. In Science, we studied science tools, safety rules/expectations, famous scientist and completed an experiment using the scientific method. We met with our Kinder Buddies!  Our third grade students really enjoying becoming the "older" buddy.
