📚🐾 Exploring Animal Coverings Through Informative Writing! 🐾📚

Mrs. Ward’s 3rd grade class had an exciting learning experience as they explored the topic of Animal Coverings! 🦁🦓🐢🐻 Students began by watching an informative video and carefully paying attention to the different types of coverings animals have and how those coverings help animals survive in their environments.

As they watched, students practiced being active listeners and observers by using a graphic organizer to jot down important information about what they saw and heard. ✏️👀👂 They recorded details, captured key information, and organized their thoughts to help them better understand the lesson.

Students then used their notes and observations as a foundation for their Informative Writing. This activity gave students an opportunity to practice gathering information, identifying key details, organizing their ideas, and communicating what they learned clearly through writing.

We love seeing our 3rd graders actively engaged in learning and using multiple skills to demonstrate their understanding! Keep learning, exploring, observing, and writing, Eagles! 🦅📖✨

Eagle Nation…Built for Success ❤️🤍💙🦅!!

🔢📚 Building Strong Math Skills in 3rd Grade! 📚🔢

Ms. Tolbert’s 3rd Grade Math class was hard at work strengthening their understanding of place value and expanded form! Students used place value charts to identify the value of each digit in a number and see how numbers can be broken down into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.

Through hands-on practice and thoughtful math conversations, students worked to connect the digits they see in a number to their actual values. They also practiced writing numbers in expanded form, showing their understanding of how each place contributes to the total number.

This type of practice helps students develop number sense, accuracy, and confidence as they work with larger numbers. We love seeing our Eagles actively engaged, thinking critically, and using different strategies to solve mathematical problems! 🧮✏️💙

Keep up the great work, Ms. Tolbert’s 3rd Grade Mathematicians! 👏🏽🎉

📚✨ Finding the Main Idea & Key Details! ✨📚

Ms. Broadway’s 4th grade class was busy strengthening their reading comprehension skills as they worked on identifying the main idea and key details! 📖📝

Students practiced looking closely at the information presented in a text, thinking about what the author wanted them to understand, and determining what the passage was mostly about. They also worked on recognizing the key details that support and explain the main idea.

This important skill helps students become stronger, more thoughtful readers by teaching them to focus on the most important information rather than getting distracted by details that do not support the central message. 🌟

We are proud of our 4th graders for thinking deeply, sharing their ideas, and putting their reading skills into practice! Keep reading, thinking, and growing, Eagles! 🦅❤️💙📚
