Show and Tell

Third grade is the grade to watch! How do I know this? Because the administration was so impressed with our literacy centers that they want teachers from other grades to observe our classes as well! Mrs. Delk blogged about literacy centers last week, you can check it out {HERE}.

So, we got together and decided to show off some more of our rockin' awesome skills. Check out our hallway! We have lots we want to show off!

Entering the 3rd grade hallway:
 All of 3rd grade is working on identifying text features. Text features covers different genres of text, and also different parts of fiction and nonfiction. This chart is in the front of the hall, and the following board is at the end of the hall.



Students are using newspapers and magazines to find text features and create a Text Features Book.
Here's what else you can find!

 Synonyms for all seasons!
