I love the third grade! It is amazing to me to see how well the third graders that I have observed in my class can read and write. The workbook that I see them independently working in thoughout the day is called their DOL book. I believe it stands for Daily Oral Language. It consists of different reading and writing excerises for them to work on to develope their fluency in reading and writing.I remember the writng and reading workbooks that I had in third grade and they seemd to have similar excersises in them as well. I was very impressd with their skill levels.
I also noticed last week that Mrs. Brown, the third grade teacher, has posted certain standards around the room from lessons that they have learrned so far throughout the year. I like this idea because as you look around the room, you can see what standards have been addressed so far in the class this year. It is nice to see the large amount of topics that they have covered so far in such a short period of time.

I agree that having the standards is helpful. I think as a teacher it would especially help to stay focused on addressing that standard as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteI think that having the standards that have been covered posted in a classroom is a great idea as well. That way if you ask a question on a topic that has already been covered, students can not claim that they never learned it! The proof is on the wall!
