The students inquired into the structure of a recount by ordering the pictures from the story of The Little Red Hen and matched the action or doing words (verbs) to the pictures whilst discovering that a recount is told in the past tense. Later, they each  wrote  three complete sentences on magnetic sentence strips, ordered their sentences and made one complete story.

We are doing "Math talk" at the beginning of some class to practice math vocabulary . Here the students wrote a number, said the number, added or subtracted one digit and gave the answer, using mathematical language. 

This week the students brought in "Me Boxes" that had things that were special to them to share with their class. This was their first real presentation in Grade 3. They then did a self reflection on how they did.
