Welcome to my webpage....looking forward to teaching 3rd grade this school year!
About Me....
My name is Romie V. Dale Amos. I have three amazing sons and have been married to my wonderful husband for over 35 years. I am a native of Louisiana but I have not lived there for forty years. After graduating high school, I enlisted in the United States Air Force, which inspired me to travel the world and become a teacher. I have been teaching since August of 2006. I have taught Special Education- Resource, ESL, 2nd grade, 4th grade, middle and high school. I graduated from University of Maryland-College Park with a Bachelor's degree in Social Science. Also I have graduated from Liberty University, VA with a Master's degree in Teaching English As a Second Language. I taught students in Kuwait, China and South Korea for eight years. I really enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures, as a matter of fact, my husband and I have visited or lived in over 40 countries during my international teaching journey and my husband's military career.

Social Studies-
In Social Studies, during the Sixth Six weeks, we will discuss and learn about Making a Difference in Our Community, the students will be studying about inventive (creative)individuals who contributed (gave) to their communities, about heroes who have sacrificed (worked hard) for their communities, and about how individual citizens and civic groups contribute to the well-being of communities. In this unit students explore the questions of – “What is the role of a responsible and engage citizen in the United States?” and “What are ways to effectively contribute to the community?”
English-Language Arts and Reading-
During our final six weeks in ELAR, our class will build their knowledge about food sources, with a focus on the informational text genre. We will read texts and view videos about how foods reach our tables. The students will write an informative article about how to plant and grow something.
Here are a few vocabulary words agriculture, reap, nutrition, and tilling that you could use in everyday conversations to help your students' understanding of the farming process as we dive into Module 9-From Farm to Table. These are a few writing and discussion questions that we will talk about together in class: How does good nutrition help you? What can we reap from a garden?
During our phonics, decoding, spelling and fluency reading time, students will learn more vocabulary words with ending which are called suffixes such as –ful, –y, –ly, –er.
During our shared reading time, students will continue looking closely at the text they are reading for the author's way of helping them as the reader get a better understanding of the story through text structure (how it is written), central idea (what the story is about) and the text and graphic features (print and pictures to help readers see the story more clearly). Also students will write about their understanding of the story through group, partner, or individual writing a response to the story.
This is just a quick glance at all we will cover this final Six weeks in English Language Arts and Reading!
Science-During the 6th Six weeks of school, students will investigate the structure (how animals are made) and function ( how they use the special body) to survive in their environment. For example, students will explore and read about how do webbed feet help a duck to survive and how do the structures (body) of the pileated woodpecker help it survive in the forests of Texas. Students will also describe animal life cycles and explore, draw, and compare life cycles of living things.
