15 Weeks of 3rd Grade Done!
Good Afternoon,
As we wrapped up our final full week of learning for the year 2020, we talked about how much we have accomplished and grown so far this year. It's been almost every adjective this year for many reasons, with good days and bad days, but we know one of the most important thing is we have all of us here together through it all which we are all thankful for this year!
Week in Review:
Math: We had our quick quiz for unit 2 which everyone did so well on! Students are engaged, and eager to learn daily!
Writing: Students have been working hard on preparing their persuasive speeches, and they drafted them out today! The power of writing using their voices is a great life lesson to see everyday.
Reading: We finished another class mystery, and students learned that all of the strong reading skills and strategies they practiced in mystery works for all fiction reading!
A Look Ahead:
- Monday, December 21st: Pajama and Stuffed Animal Day
- Tuesday, December 22nd: Christmas Colors or Christmas Wear Day
- No School December 23rd-Janurary 1st. Return to school after Winter Break January 4th.
Discover practical strategies to make reading aloud a meaningful family ritual.
The stories we read--and the conversations we have about them--help shape family traditions, create lifelong memories, and become part of our legacy. Reading aloud not only has the power to change a family--it has the power to change the world.
But we all know that connecting deeply with our families can be difficult in our busy, technology-driven society. Reading aloud is one of the best ways to be fully present with our children, even after they can read themselves, but it isn't always easy to do. Discover how to:
- Prepare your kids for academic success through reading to them
- Develop empathy and compassion in your kids through books
- Find time to read aloud in the midst of school, sports, and dinner dishes
- Choose books across a variety of sibling interests and ages
- Make reading aloud the best part of your family's day
The Read-Aloud Family also offers age-appropriate book lists from infancy through adolescence. From a toddler's wonder to a teenager's resistance, you will find the inspiration you need to start a read-aloud movement in your own home.
