They worked very hard on this unit. It took us a few weeks as I guided them step-by-step. Soon, students will have to prove to me that they can write an essay (with paper and pencil) all in one sitting, without me taking them step-by-step.
Part of our third grade curriculum is to use technology to publish a piece of writing. Students typed out their opinion essays in the computer lab during our writing time. It was so rewarding to watch the kids proudly get their essays from the printer and say, "Wow! I wrote all this!" Until they typed their pieces, students had the introduction, their 2 examples, and their conclusion on different pages in their writer's notebook. This was the first time students saw it all together.

Thank you to all the parents that were able to make it to our morning of math games. We hope you had a great time learning some games that you can play at home with your child! |
