Recently, the 3rd graders had their second digital citizenship lesson for the year. This lesson focused on how people make assumptions based on what is posted online. The students began by drawing a selfie, adding details and a background to help show where they were. Later, the students traded papers and answered questions about their partner's selfie. After trading papers back, the students read what their partner had to written about their selfie. The term assumption was identified and we discussed how we make assumptions about what we see every day. The students then answered questions about if the selfie they originally drew matched the identity they wanted to show. Students were given time to redo their selfie. You can find some tips to help your family post responsibly here. This past week, the students were introduced to theTrail of Tears in their reading classes. The students worked on a WebQuest where they were able to learn more. They were given a question guide to aide their research and practice reading a text and looking back for the information. The teachers have requested that similar activities in the future.

The students in Mrs. Siffermann's class read the book The Witches by Roald Dahl. The students then wrote book reviews in class. On Halloween, they were able to use a green screen to record their book reviews so that they looked like they were inside a spooky bottle. These videos were then app smashed into Seesaw to share their families and teachers. Our other third grade classes will be able to create green screen videos later this school year. Keep an eye out for them.
Last week, the students practiced logging into their online accounts for math and reading. On my helpful links page, you will find videos on the features of those websites. An email will be going home later this week that contains information for how to access the sites at home as well.
