Abe and George

2/22/2018

We have been working hard on reading Paired Passages lately. We are quickly becoming experts at being able to find text evidence in more than one place.

This week we focused on two great presidents: Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

ReadWorks had some excellent resources to choose from, so I was able to select an informational article about each one of the presidents.

On Tuesday we mainly focused on Lincoln, and on Wednesday we focused on Washington.

On Thursday and Friday we used a cool Venn (shaped like their heads, no less!) to compare and contrast these fine presidents. A lot of information came from our paired passages, but I was also impressed how much schema these kids already had stored up in their heads!

Happy Birthday Abe and George!

Hello there!
Welcome to Flying With the Frogs...a website highlighting all the wonderful activities that we do in third grade at Indian Trail Elementary School.

I have been teaching for 25 (!!!) years. You can say that I am a well-rounded teacher, as I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. I have had the awesome opportunity to teach gifted students as well as ELL and special needs students.

I am an award winning teacher! I have the honor of being a 2016 state of Illinois Those Who Excel, Teacher of the Year finalist. I am in the top ten teachers in the state of Illinois!

I am passionate about teaching. I love to engage my students in a variety of differentiated activities and love to share them here with you!
