Welcome to 3rd Grade!

Welcome!
We have had a very fun and busy first few days of 3rd grade in Room 14.  Here are a few of the awesome things that have been going on...

 
All About Me Play-Doh Sculptures:  The children created Play-Doh sculptures that represented something interesting 
about themselves (Ex- hobby, favorite food, family life, etc.).

3rd Grade Candy Goal:  The children thought about what they want to accomplish, both academically and socially this year in 3rd grade. They created a candy goal to ensure "Sweet Success".  

The M&M Game: The children spent some time getting to know the other children at their tables. Each child had their own small bag of M&M's. Depending on the color that was picked out of the bag, they had to share something about themselves. (Ex: Green- tell us about your family/pets.  Red- tell us about your favorite TV show or movie.)

Gallery Walk of Our Favorite Books: The students brought in their favorite book from home. They had the opportunity to look through their friends' books and get some recommendations of new books to read.  We also kicked off Reading Workshop by decorating our book boxes. 



We have had a very fun-filled first few days of school. 
We are looking forward to getting to know the children better and seeing them grow.   Please feel free to post a comment!  Your feedback is appreciated! 
Thank you!
