This week we read “First Day in Grapes” and made so many connections to all of our first day in 3rd Grade! So impressed with these reading responses! 📓✏️

Independent Reading was in full swing last week! Love the love of reading these kiddos have! 📚🤍

Visualizing poetry this week! These kiddos drew some amazing visualizations and selected words from the poem that helped them visualize!

Love hearing the conversations about alphabetical order! Practicing partnerships as well!

Boosterthon Fun Run to start off our Friday morning! Thank you SFE families for supporting our school! 🦈

“Unicorns Are the Worst!” but sisters are the best! Loved having one of my student’s sisters read one of her favorite books to the class today! So special! 📚

What kind of stories can happen in these settings? Such creative ideas and great discussions! We dove deeper into the influence setting can have on plot and realized how quickly our plot can be impacted if the setting is changed!

Love these cute future Mustangs supporting KHS this week!

The conversations we’ve had this week about character relationships have been SO GOOD! So proud of these kiddos for justifying their answers with text evidence!

Red Ribbon Week fun! ❤️

Revisiting some previously read books to figure out what lesson the author wants us to learn! Collaboration + communication!
