WELCOME TO OUR CLASS BLOG

Our first days of school were spent getting to know our new classroom community and the new routines of Grade 3B.

One of our routines is to listen to a book being read out loud (read alouds) while the students are snacking at morning and afternoon recess. As you can see by the photo of the books, a lot of time was spent discussing our feelings about coming back to school. The common thread throughout the read alouds was to persevere through challenging times and to realize that trying something challenging and making a mistake is better than not trying at all.

Another of our class routines is a reading strategy called The Daily 5.  The first step of The Daily 5 is to be able to read to yourself independently and efficiently. This will be described in more detail during our Program Night. Here is a photo on the anchor chart that reminds the students what is expected.

We have spent our math block reviewing what we already know about (schema) Data Management. We have also spent some time understanding the routines and and expectations of our to conduct ourselves during collaborative and group activities such as math games.
