Third grade is such an amazing year in the life of a child. The learning curve is intense and the transitions are many! Here is a peek into a new third grade student's school day...
Instead of learning to read, we are now reading to learn! We are learning to dig deeper into our reading. We constantly look back and reread to find text evidence that answers our many questions. Not only do teachers give us tests to see what we know, but we are learning HOW to test! Math work is no longer on a worksheet for us to complete. Now we have our own book! We learn to transfer information to our paper correctly, and then solve the problem! We log and keep track of our own test grades in a data folders. We are entrusted with new technology too! We talk a lot about digital citizenship as we learn to be responsible and careful with these expensive tools. With all of these changes, we sometimes get overwhelmed! We are so thankful for all of the encouragers that help us every day! Our peers and all of the adults at Grant are always ready to lend us a hand. We learn a lot about cooperation, respect, and good citizenship along the way!
