3rd

This year the third graders are a very impressive, motivated and responsible group.  Many of the students are phenomenal readers in Italian and English. Tutti amano a leggere e loro portano libri a casa ogni notte a leggere (They all love to read and they bring books home every night to read)!

This year the students have started transitioning into English reading and writing, which has been enjoyable to both observe and oversee.  We have begun reading chapter books together during our reading block, explored il sistema solare e tutti i pianete (the solar system and all the planets).  Soon we will be taking a field trip to the Planetarium with Ms. Knoespels class in order to build on and reenforce the content we have learned thus far.

The FLES (Foreign Language in the Elementary School) students from Ms. Knoespel’s class, although completely new to the language are up for the challenge and excited to learn Italian.  In fact I am amazed at how quickly they are soaking up the language and using it – not just me BUT WITH EACH ANOTHER!

Io  penso quest’anno di scuola per la terza elementare sara’ divertente, un’po difficile ma anche interessante.  Io spero i studenti imparemmo molte, molte cose dei soggetti da scuola ma anche lezioni di reponsibilita e rispetto  – queste buone qualita’ sono necessario a essere un buon studente e una persona buon!
