Week 2

Our third grade otters are starting to settle into their new routine.  This week we began to gain stamina in reading and writing. Our class show an enormous amount of enthusiasm and focus during our Writer’s Workshop.  We used our five senses to write a narrative piece. The field trip to Casella was a GREAT success! Students were amazed by the production and asked fantastic questions: What are some things that should NOT be recycled?  What happens after the materials leave the facility? What was the most interesting thing ever recycled?! Our week concluded in the forest. Each student found a “sit spot” that they will enjoy over the next three seasons.  

Questions to spark conversation:
What is recycling?
What is See-Saw?
What are your hopes and dreams for 3rd grade?
What house are you in and what game did you play today with the whole school?
