In our desks: First, we start with our Big 6 Question Review.
Around the classroom: Then, we practice our volume and intonation. Mrs. Kneeland is looking a little "green."
Utilizing the gym space: Finally, we punctuate with purpose and movement -stomp (.), skip (,), shoulder shrug/hands raised (?), and jump pointing index finger in the air (!). Reading passages really gets the 3rd graders' circulation going.
I read Melissa's blog entry on this activity and I thought, "Wow, they are learning writing skills in the gym!" I love what you ladies are doing and can hardly wait to come visit today.
