212 Highlights... 

• We've been celebrating the diversity in our room by learning about everyone's families, languages, interests, and talents.

• Students created their Hopes and Dreams for 3rd grade.  Those are their goals for their journey ahead.

• Our Best Behavior Week had us all learn the expectations for our shared settings: playground, cafeteria, bus, bathroom, hallway, and classroom. Blazer's Beliefs will be learned and practiced throughout VES all year long. 

• Students became Masterpiece artists after learning about the art in the classroom and how they can make a beautiful mistake. Their unique pieces will hang in our room for the whole year as a reminder of our individuality. 

• As Writers we'll begin the year by crafting complete sentences that follow the rules of grammar.  That will lead into telling personal narratives aloud and then on the page.  Students will work through the writing process by brainstorming ideas, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing a small-moment piece.

• As Readers students will find "just right" fiction books. They should know most of the words, but a few should make them stop and think, to broaden their vocabulary.  They should understand what is happening in the story and want to read on. 

• As Mathematicians Unit 1 in Bridges will mostly be a review of 2nd grade addition and subtraction.  Gaining knowledge of fast facts, solve number stories, and displaying their mathematical understandings will be practiced.
