Student Ownership
10/5/2019
We love to read! Lots of shelves in our classroom are dedicated to books and our book boxes. Every day students keep track of the pages they read and regularly share what they're reading. They especially love bragging when they finish a book. Some of the kids noticed that though there are lots of great books, the books are not organized in any particular way. They changed that on Tuesday! They dumped all the books and collaborated to create categories on sticky notes for all the bins on their own. Along the way, they liked discovering books they haven't seen before and reorganizing their book boxes. They loved taking ownership of this part of their classroom! When students have a voice in their learning, they are more invested and more motivated to learn. We are excited to be wrapping up our science unit about endangered species in our area. As a way to demonstrate their learning, students chose one of the endangered species and created Google Drawings on their laptops. Later they shared their learning with 1st and 2nd grade students. Great job, Third Graders! Comments are closed.
