We have had a fantastic few days getting to know each other and beginning our third grade journey!
We began the year by exploring what makes a third grade student successful. This is our "Recipe for Success in Third Grade" unit. Over the course of the first week, we read seven books and we discussed the theme of each. Each book's theme represented something that would help the children be successful during this school year. The following is a list of the books and their themes:
Pigsty- Be neat and responsible
Ruby the Copycat- Be yourself
The Rainbow Fish- Be willing to share
The Greedy Triangle-Try new things
Chrysanthemum- Be kind
The Wizard, the Fairy, and the Magic Chicken- Work cooperatively
The Cactus Flower Bakery- Be a good friend
We had a great time comparing our similarities by using Hula Hoops as Venn Diagrams! Check out the pictures below for a peak at some of the fun!
