I reviewed dictionary skills recently. My third graders acted like they never used a dictionary before. AHHHH. So needles to say, I spent some time reviewing dictionary skills and guide words.
That went better, but then I went into ABC order (which at third grade should be a review) and boy was it disappointing. They don't seem to remember how to put words in ABC order. To help review without taking any more time in whole class, I made this fun ABC Order game for my centers.
I'm feeling kinda lonely lately because I'm not really getting any comments lately, so until tomorrow, if you are interested in a free copy, please leave me a comment about what seems to be a tough topic for your students this year. You will need to also leave me your email address and I will send it to you for FREE.
Remember...tell me a tough topic for your students right now and leave your email. Comment and leave me your email before 5:00 Monday evening. After that it will be for sale in my TPT store. Thanks and I hope to "hear" from you all soon! :)
I know what you mean about the comments sometimes! My 3rd grade ELLs are ready doing well with reading comprehension, it's the word study they are struggling with. And I am talking about, all the way back to consonant blends!

DeleteThis is definitely something that I will be using with my students! They are struggling with ABC order! Some of my students even have to sing the whole alphabet song to put words in order! Another tough topic for my students is subtracting larger numbers with regrouping- they don't like to borrow!! My email is teachermom79@gmail.com Thanks in advance!

Ugg...I have that to look forward to soon!
DeleteMy students struggle with everything reading, or they would not come to see me. The second and third graders seem to have a hard time with ABC order too! It is something we continue to work on!

DeleteAck! I'm going to take a chance and be a little late so I can leave you a longer comment. My blog has been DEAD lately, too- I think everyone is just swamped heading back to school. I still have a few kids struggling with odd/ even, which is definitely a 2nd grade skill, but most of my kiddos have it!
ReplyDeleteThanks a ton for offering a freebie :)

Thanks for telling me your blog is dead lately too. I thought it was just me! :)
DeleteThe biggest thing my students are struggling with is their study skills. The transition from 2nd to 3rd grade curriculum is hard for them!
ReplyDeleteIt's only 4:59 PM where I'm at! Better hit submit fast!

DeleteStudy skills are crazy! Test taking skills are too... Thanks for commenting! :)
DeleteYou hit the nail on the head with the ABC order. Next would be compound subjects and predicates. I want to pull my hair out. Then throw in subtraction across zeros to the ten thousands in the afternoon and it is a very long day.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!!!
