Fiction Text Features

In room 302 we are learning about story elements.  An example is the main character that keeps the story going.  There is also the time and place, or plot.  Another example is when at the beginning everyone is happy but in the middle there is a problem or conflict that is normally fixed. That is called the solution.

KidBiz-The Exciting Reading Program

In school we’ve been doing a reading computer program called KidBiz.  KidBiz is a site where we read a non-fiction article and then answer questions about it.  Every 302 scholar does KidBiz twice a week because Ms. Kochy thinks it helps you read fluently.  When you first open up the article you want to read, KidBiz asks you to answer a poll.  Then at the end of your activity, KidBiz asks you to vote again to see if you’ve changed your mind about the poll.  I think everyone looks forward to reading on KidBiz twice a week!

Rounding is AWESOME!

For the last few days we have been learning about rounding. One thing that we learned is if the ones places is a 5 you round up. Today we played a game in math. How you would play this is you would pick 3 cards from the pile and you would round it and who ever got a higher number gets all the cards. So the person with the most card wins. This game is really good!

Soft, fluffy. Kids are making a quilt square for a big design on the wall. The kids do their best to make a detailed quilt square. It’s all about a favorite memory in the community. All 3^rd grade is making a quilt square.

Turning our interveiws into paragraphs

 About a week ago we started interviewing people about being part of the Carrboro school community. We asked them about their jobs and how the community would be different without them. We also asked about them being interdependent, interdependent means who you depend on and who depends on you. We REALLY enjoyed it! :)!
