It was great getting back to school today. I had one student return from Korea where it was snowing and unbelievably cold. Except after the past week or so, our students have a better idea of colder temperatures. We are still trying to get back into our routines and prepare for our third grade play, "Pirates of Grammar Island". We are so excited to have try-outs and find our who are leading actors and actresses will be. Our grade level has many talented students and it will be a challenge to decide who will be the Captain and who will be the Queen of Pronouns. Hopefully by Friday we will be able to post our lead positions. Good luck to everyone!
We have also started our collaboration research on biomes. I decide to put the class into 9 groups and each group has a GoogleDoc template with questions they must answer and show their resources. Then students will start to write their chapters for their iBook.
Lucky me, I was awarded a DonorsChoose.org grant!!! I asked for 8 Wacom Bambo drawing tablets and they have arrived already. My students are going to be amazed at how incredible their art work will look when they use this exciting tool. Our iBook is going to be fabulous and I can't wait to share our results. Stayed tune to find out more of our writing journey!
