The introduction of Google Slides went well! Students really took on the challenge. The skills and journey this project has taken them is something to be proud of. They started by researching using an ebook. From there, they synthesized the facts they learned to write it into their own words on their note page. Next, they learned a new form of publication. Some students created a handmade book using their neatest handwriting. Others took on Google Slides to show their information digitally. They had to break their facts down into the most important information in a bulleted list. Many students took it upon themselves to spice up their project with lots of pictures and transitions. They have so much to be proud of! Our last step is presenting their hard work to their peers this week.
The coming weeks will be a little shorter than normal. The week of Thanksgiving is only two and a half days. Wednesday will be an early dismissal day, ending at 12 noon. The following week there will be no school on Friday. This is done because Goffstown does parent-teacher conferences on that day. New Boston does conferences a little differently. We allow parents to schedule times over a week chosen by the teacher instead of just on one day. If you ever have any concerns, please reach out and we can schedule a conference during any part of the year. However, I do the formal sign ups for conferences in mid to late-January. This is so we can compare where they came into third grade (September scores) and where they are half way through the year. I use AIMsWeb, IXL, and classroom observations to lead the conversation. If I had any concerns that required a different learning plan, I would have already reached out to add supports for your child. I truly look at my families as a team, so I am always an email away if you are noticing frustrations at home. If your child is still working on certain skills, that is something you will see in their report cards coming out in December. Every child has a focus area and third grade introduces a lot of new skills. I don't expect perfection after the first exposure to things like multiplication, subtraction with borrowing, or word problems with division. These are year-long skills that we build and support as a class. Up Coming Events: 🦃 Wednesday, November 24th - dismissal at noon 🥧 Thursday and Friday, November 25th and 26th - No School 🎁 Friday, December 3rd - No School, Goffstown Conferences (3rd Grade Conferences in January) A Look Ahead: 🗣️ - Monday and Tuesday we are presenting our projects 👀 - Wednesday we are having visitors come and check out our projects ➖ In math, we are finishing up our last two lessons of the Unit, that means only homework on Monday and Tuesday
