Monday: A fine day in Thirdland. We read a book about the Landfill-Harmonic Orchestra. We also read 2 articles in Time for Kids and had Read 2 Self time. During Math, we practiced different strategies for solving division problems. We worked on writing possessive nouns with apostrophes to end the day. We had a snowy, fun recess too.
Tuesday: Wow! Lots of energy in 3rdLand today. We read about a boy by the name of Alex Knolls who created an app to help people with disabilities find accessible places in their towns. We also worked on some “zines” about TFK articles we think people should know about. We learned about Year of the Ox with Ms. Schuler. We also worked on more multiplication and division problems.
Thursday: We started reading Matthew Jackson Meets the Wall today for our literature study book. We worked on learning about area and perimeter. More practice with apostrophes in the afternoon. We’re also reading books from a text set about musical characters.
Friday: We learned about Carter Woodson and the origins of African American History Month this morning with a reading of Carter Reads the Newspaper. A great book! We also worked on writing brief book reviews about picture books that focus on musicians and the power of music in people’s lives. During Math, we worked on some True and False problems. Example: 7 x 2 = 10 + 5. True or False? 36 / 6 = 42 / 7. True or False. The 3rdLanders also took a quick quiz on multiplication and division. We ended the day learning more about different publishing houses. We went on a scavenger hunt of publishing houses using the books in our classroom. This has been a busy and fun week in 3rdLand.
