Raney's Rock Stars: Week 14

What a busy week!  We started off with our gingerbread extravaganza.  Our 3rd-grade Otters used teamwork to create a unique gingerbread house.  This project seemed to kick off our holiday spirit!
In math, we worked hard to strengthen our understanding of multiplication through number puzzles, math games, and patterns in the multiplication table.  In reader's workshop, students continue to build on their voice, fluency and comprehending their text on a deeper level.  In writer's workshop, our non-fiction teaching books continue to grow. Students have chosen topics they feel they are "Experts" in. Students are writing more chapters and thinking about what makes a good introduction.  On Thursday, we enjoyed a visit from the AVA Gallery. We will be participating in their AVA Galley: Young Art Detectives program. Mrs. Shimko came to our classroom and taught us about some of Hartford's history. We focused on the Flood of 1927, and students created beautiful illustrations of the flood and what it might have looked like in Hartford at that time. We ended our week in the forest with more team building activities and exploration in the snow.
