The days seem to be moving quickly now and the 3rd grade otters are working hard
to utilize each moment in the classroom. During writer’s workshop we continue to
work on small moment pieces,beginning our story with a lead that grabs our reader’s
attention. We are trying to write using a storytellers voice that shows not tells (describes
actions, uses dialogue and describes what we saw, smelled, tasted or felt.) Reading
partners are becoming more confident in the routines of reader’s workshop. In order
to make reading the best it can be we each came up with a plan (find a comfy spot, have
book talks, read books that we love.) During our math block we used number racks on
ipads to look for ways to add friendly numbers. We noticed patterns in the addition
charts. During mystery science we explored the question, “Why do bees pollinate.”

Questions to spark conversation
-What do reading partners do?
-How can I use a storytellers voice in my writing?
-Why do bees like crawling into flowers?
-How do you take someone else's perspective?
