HyperDoc Happiness!

Today my 3rd graders did their first mini HyperDoc!  I am so happy about this!  I have been waiting for MONTHS to try a HyperDoc with a group of kids.  School started, and I found out the 16 Chromebooks I thought I was going to have moved to another grade level.  So today, a month into school I took my kids to the computer lab and we experienced our first HyperDoc.  The kids loved it, and I loved it.  I can't wait to do more and show them the amazing lessons I have for them.  We started out simple.  They logged on using a shortened URL and clicked on a Google Form.  In that form they filled out their name, watched 2 videos and answered a question.  Then they did a dot activity.  Success!

Breath Boxes

We started fluency folders for intervention time this week and the kids are loving every minute of it.  We have had +Knela Newton in for a whole week to teach us the routines and procedures for fluency.  Mrs. Newton gave them breath boxes as a fun way to practice sight words.  Please check out the video HERE.  Knela is my Instructional Coach and she is an amazing teacher!  My kids are very disappointed that she is not going to be there for fluency again.  But little do they know, she will be back this week for writing.  I love the fact they enjoy learning new things from all different teachers.  Thank you +Knela Newton for being my coach and a second teacher to my kids.

Week 3 of 3rd Grade

Week three is here and I get more excited every day.  I love my new class, grade level and school. These kids are very fun and they keep me on my toes. There are so many things I want to share with them and have them create.

This is a place where I will be talking about what we have done in class and sharing what we are working on.  I will also be letting you know about homework and what is happening at school.

Happenings at school:
Wednesday is our Family Lunch day, come have lunch with your kid. Our lunch time starts at 11:40.
Picture day is Thursday!
Friday is The Ned Show assembly at 1:30, should be fun!  I hear there will be yo-yo's for sale.

Homework:
Monday, September 12th we will be starting homework.  I will be sending home a few math problems.  Make sure you check to see which ones I have assigned.  There is also a cursive practice page.
  
We will be working on Instagram "Posts" in class this week. I will share pictures when they are done.
