Today I was in a different Third Grade classroom, and it was another really great experience. They started off the day with a language arts lesson, and read a story which was really cool. The teacher read the story with such enthusiasm it was really great. Then they moved onto a lesson with comparing and contrasting the characters with a vendiagram. The kids were really excited all day for the Teddy bear Fashion Show, where they had to decorate a bear any way they wanted and then write six to eight sentences about the bear and it had to include a simile and a wish they had for the bear. Then they got a partner and read each other's while the one walked down the runway. Seeing the whole thing today it was SO CUTE! And so great to see how creative they can be!
