About this resource
Description
A school KWL graphic organizer helps students think about school before, during, and after a lesson or unit on how schools work. KWL stands for what I Know, what I Want to learn, and what I Learned. Using the chart at the start of the year lets children share what they already know about their school, ask real questions about the people and places in it, and keep track of the new ideas they discover as the year goes on.
About This Worksheet
This school KWL graphic organizer is designed for 3rd grade students. The topic, School, is printed at the top, so children can begin right away. First, students write what they already know about school in the K box, such as who works there, what rooms it has, or how they get there each morning. Next, they write questions in the W box about anything they wonder. After a class talk, a book, or a school tour, students return to the L box and record what they learned. Each box gives four roomy writing lines, and every response is the child’s own, so the page fits any classroom.
What’s Included
- A “Topic: School” heading ready to use
- A K box for what students already know
- A W box for what students want to learn
- An L box for what students learned
- A single printable PDF page with a cheerful school illustration
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- It activates prior knowledge, so new information about school connects to what students already know.
- Writing questions in the W box helps students set their own purpose for listening and reading.
- Filling in the L box asks children to summarize new facts in their own words, which helps them remember.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this back to school KWL chart during the first week to start a class discussion about your building and the people who help in it. Pair it with a school tour, then let students compare their K and L boxes. Parents can use it at home before the first day to ease nerves and answer questions together. You can also save the pages and revisit them at the end of the year to see how much students have grown.
