This past week, we have received handwritten letters from our Elkhart, Indiana pen pals in Mrs. Troutman's class, we've talked with our new friends in Cary, North Carolina on Flipgrid, and we've been sharing ideas with these friends as well as those in Canada on Padlet!
I've included our first Padlet below.  Scroll through and check out the titles to see where students are located! 

Learning to Peer Edit

We are beginning to wrap up our first personal narrative in writing, and yesterday, students used a checklist to individually review their work for specific elements such as:  a focused seed idea, an attention-grabbing lead, transition words, and a thoughtful ending.  

Today, we practiced peer editing for the first time.  To begin, I modeled this process with a wonderful student volunteer - thank you Elise!  Students then were partnered up and given a peer editing checklist to use.  They took this task so seriously, and as I walked around, I couldn't believe how thoughtful they were being about each other's work. 

I've included pictures of the checklists below as well as some student shots.  Well done third graders!
