First Week in Room 203

We’ve been so busy blogging about our first week in third grade that I forgot to blog in my own blog!  Yikes!  This first week went by so quickly.  We had so much fun learning about each other through different games. 

On the first day of school, students had a chance  to get to know each other.  First, students got to know their teammates.  Our classroom is divided into four groups.  Each group has five or six students in it.  Each team made a team name poster.  Our teams this six weeks are Short Horns, Blue Thunderbolts, L-Force, and Warriors Born to be Wild.  Each team member has a job for the week and they rotate through their team jobs each week for the six weeks.  In five weeks, we will switch teams and make up a new team name for our new groups.  I really like how this adds teamwork to our classroom! 

During the first week we also made necklaces to tell about ourselves.  The different colored beads represented different characteristics of each student where it be how many brothers and sisters they have or what hobbies they have.  We learned about math in our world and school and made our very first vodcast.

Thanks again for checking out the blog!  I will start making entries on a daily basis from now on   Have a great day!
