During the third quarter, we learned about Martin Luther King
Jr., Groundhog Day, the 100th Day of School, Valentine's Day, President's Day,
Black History Month, Chinese New Year, Dr. Seuss's Birthday (Read Across
America Day) and St. Patrick’s Day. In ELA, we read stories from the reading
series themes Let's Play and In the Neighborhood. We learned spelling words
from the op, og, et, en, and ug families. We completed Daily 5 centers and
Guided Reading groups. We wrote in our journals to create our own stories using
our own thoughts and ideas. In Math, we learned place value to 19, representing
and counting beyond 20 and identifying two-dimensional shapes. We completed our
BUILD centers (not as often as we had hoped, but we squeezed them in whenever
possible). We continued our #choosekind initiative. We recognized our friends
and had weekly discussions about begin kind in all different situations. While
visiting the computer lab this year, we learned how to use Word, 3D Paint, and
Google Chrome (using our class webpage).
