Homecoming week

We were feeling pretty GREEN in 3B!!

Building Reading Stamina

We are focusing on building our reading stamina. The students have been increasing their times!! Bowie enjoys reading with us as well.

2016-17 3B class

 It's so much fun to be silly!!

 We can't forget Bowie!! He came to our room today for reading and went out to recess.

Practicing Routines

Today we practiced being a good listener.

 We reviewed rules and expectations for listening to each other as well as the teacher.

 Working with 3A was fun. The students interacted to learn each others' names as well as practicing their addition skills.

 Cooperation, collaboration, and fun today with friends!

first day

We had an amazing first day! The students were refreshed on the PBIS schoolwide expectations, we began writing and reading mini lessons, had a great time at recess, and enjoyed Music and Chinese.

Reader's theater

We practiced reading a play called, "Our New Home," which is about a family that immigrates to the Unites States from Poland. We performed to Ms. Busch's 4th grade and the office (Ms. Miller, Mr. Poock, and Mr. Kleese). The students increase their fluency using expression and rate of speed with reader's theater.
