3rd Grade News
We started our first Reader's Theater play called, "Goldilocks and the Three Bullfrogs." We worked on reading with expression and projecting voices. Next week, we are going to do the play, "The Tortoise and the Hare."
3rd graders will also get to take turns bringing home either Steve or Sarah Stingray. Students will then get to write in the stingray journal to share their adventures they had during the week. When they return, they will get to share their story with the class.
Students will also get to learn about some of the famous places Steve and Sarah have visited around the world.
