Fluency Friday Fun

These kids loved playing our new dice games on their facts. Some worked with subtraction and multiplication. 

American Revolution Celebrations

These few finished their research for their poster work to share and teach about the American Revolution. 
Moved on to the Writing Celebration as they shared their favorite chapter of their research report for writing.

Listening to our debate partner

Sharing in Many Forms


We invited Mrs. Haynes' third grade class from next door to share our Historical Fiction stories we published from a few topics: Native Americans, Colonial, or Westward Expansion. 
In the next unit, we began research on the American Revolution. Here we are teaching our partner what we had learned so far on the first bend of reading: Before 1775.
