All hands on deck

3rd graders have been busy learning new ways to show their knowledge. We utilize Quizlet to study vocabulary words. A neat feature of this free online resource is playing “Quizlet Live”. The program randomly choose teams and each team competes to be the first to correctly answer vocabulary questions. We read, “The Origami Master” and learned that becoming a master of origami is quite difficult! An online tutorial helped us create our origami birds. I am so proud of their perseverance during this challenging hands on activity.

We’ve also began our Poetry unit of study! In preparation of our “Poetry Cafe”, students are learning how poetry is organized and the many poetic devices that make up a poem. The weather here in East Texas was beautiful this week as we welcomed the cooler temps and sunshine! I love the flexibility of teaching outdoors when possible!

Check back to watch our poetry to come life with the presentation of our very own, “Poetry Cafe”, Thursday, October 7, 2021!
