What's happening?
Here is where you will find out what has been happening in class
Third grade, like all grades really, is a year of great growth--emotional, physical and academic. This year we are working really hard to grow in our use of details both in speaking and in writing. Students are asked to speak in complete sentences---or try again if they don't. Students are asked to write in complete sentences--or try again if they don't. ;) We have made sooooo much progress. I am REALLY proud of many of they students. When it comes to telling about the setting in a story, students are so used to answering in one sentence and only telling one place. However, if we look deeply into a text we will see that often times texts take place in more than one time and more than one place. There are three things we worked to learn and remember. Setting involves THREE things. These three things should be expressed in an oral or written manner everytime we discuss setting. They are: 1. Time (When)--time of day, weeks, months, seasons...ALL OF THESE 2- Location (where)-- WITH DETAIL--inside, outside 3.- Environment (what's happening)---snow, rain, cold, wind and more Here are some images of us working collaboratively to tell as much detail about setting as possible:
