Third Grade Buddies!

Our Paws points celebration this week was getting to meet our third grade buddies!  Third graders chose a first grader to be their buddy.  We will keep the same buddies all year.  For our first meeting, we greeted our buddies, read books to each other, and worked on giving reading compliments.

Making Maps and Reading with Buddies!

We started working on the second half of our Community Unit which is about maps.  This week we tried to map our classroom.

 We have been trying out different things we can do with our reading buddies.  One way to read is to take turns reading pages in the same book.

 Today we used sticky notes to record words that had endings on them.  We are focusing on the endings -ed, -s, and -ing.

Nurse Amy

Nurse Amy came to visit us again!  This time she was teaching us about our teeth and how to take care of our teeth.

Word Wall Words and Convincing Our Readers

We are working on reading our word wall words quickly and using them to figure out other tricky words.  We added a list of word wall words to our book boxes.  We can practice reading them by ourselves or with a buddy.  We can also play Guess My Word with a buddy too!

 We started our new writing unit.  It is persuasive writing.  We have started by trying to convince our writer about which stuffed animals are the best.  We are working on starting with our opinion and then giving our readers lots of reasons and details to convince them!

 

Pajama Day!

Don't forget tomorrow is Pajama Day for the whole school!
