What an eggcellent idea!

This week 3rd graders in Mrs. Rachael Shadiow's class at BIS have been learning all about procedural texts and identifying the text structure! One of the articles we read was all about making spaghetti. We followed the steps from the article and found out that even if it seems like “3 easy steps” it’s actually a lot of work! 😂 Hard work paid off though and they were able to enjoy a nice treat!

It's been a busy day for the 3rd graders in Mrs. Rachael Shadiow's class at BPS this week! According to Mrs. Shadiow, 'My 3rd graders used their “decoding rings” to decode the practice ILEARN prompts. They wrote down important words from the prompt, used their decoding cheat sheets and rings, and were able to share what type of essay they needed to write for each prompt. They did a great job! '
Great job, Bears! Keep up the good work!
