Three Ring

I have been utilizing a great new resource called Three Ring for a while now. It is a tool that allows me to share pictures, videos, and recordings of your child's work here at school with you via email. I have invited all parents with the email that the school has on file. If you have not received this email and have not had the chance to see Three Ring, please send me an updated email address and I will send you a new invitation. It is a chance for you to see beyond the worksheets :) My email is: kanes@billingsschools.org

Reciprocal Teaching- Supporting Each Other to Understand

In third grade we begin to dive into more independent work. Reciprocal teaching is a way of organizing small reading groups to help us practice reading comprehension as well as leadership skills and collaboration. Up until now we have been doing this practice whole group. Today we gave it a try at our tables. The class did great and demonstrated excellent respect for their colleagues as well as diligent, hard work! Great job third graders!
