What are you teaching the world?

Math Superstars #3

I can't seem to get in the habit of posting these on Friday; I apologize if you were looking for it last night! Here's a link to this week's Math Superstars:click here. I will work on getting the links for all of the pages for the year under the Math Workshop tab. 

Class Picture

We took advantage of the risers in music to snap a class picture while we're in our Picture Day attire! 

By Popular Request...

Here are the multiplication songs we have been singing together. They will download when you click on them and can be imported into iTunes or whatever you use to manage music on your home computer. There is also a PowerPoint file with the lyrics :-). Enjoy! Click Here

State Videos

I'm glad you're so excited to start the 50 states challenge! Here are the videos we used this morning. I did download the Smart Board file from the Multiple Intelligences video and will put her story together for you to practice with.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the following students for mastering their "anchor" multiplication facts (0s, 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s): Maya, Maren, Zachary, Tyler, Mackenzie, Shrey, Landon, Grant, Joseph, Noah S., Andrew, Freddie, and Madelyn. Way to go! 

Students will be able to demonstrate mastery of their facts in this order... 
- Friday, August 29th: 3s and 6s
- Friday, September 5th: 4s and 8s 
- Friday, September 12th: 7s and 9s 
- Friday, September 19th: 11s and 12s 

As discussed in class, students will be able to earn a car for the bulletin board when they have mastered all facts! Students will not be able to move on to the next test until they have demonstrated mastery of the previous set. For example, they must demonstrate mastery of the anchor facts before moving on to the test of 3s and 6s. I am happy to send home practice pages!

Quick post to link the next Math Superstars page - sorry for the delay! Week 2

Type to Learn

Here's some information from Mrs. G about how to access Type to Learn at home. If you have any other favorite typing practice websites, let me know! :-)

Example of Mystery Number Clues

The digit in the thousands place is the number of tentacles on an octopus.


The digit in the ones place is the number of legs on a cat.

The digit in the hundreds place is the number of arms on a starfish.


The digit in the tens place is the difference of 18-9.

What is my secret number?

Agenda and Brainteaser - Automatic Update

I have added a link under the Resources tab that will take you to our agenda and brain teaser for the day. This link will automatically update to show what should be recorded in your child's agenda, as well as what materials they were instructed to take home. Students, challenge your families with our brain teasers! 

Multiple Intelligences

Today, we talked about Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and took a mini quiz to discover our strongest areas of intelligence. We discussed that we are all made up of a unique blend of the intelligences, and that we should not be labeled by one single area. Parents, ask your child about his/her results!

Math Superstars

Math Superstars is posted under the Math Workshop tab at the top of the page. Students, remember this should be your own work! Math Superstars pages are due on Thursday and a new page will be posted on Friday. Happy Math Thinking! 

Whoops!

Third grade friends (and families), I am so sorry! I thought I had updated the learning links schedule and the classroom schedule for the year, but the update did not get published. They have been changed to reflect the 2014-2015 school year schedule.

Welcome, Third Graders!

I am so excited to start the school year with you! As you complete your homework of checking out the website, be sure to look under the resoures tab at the top!
Enjoy your weekend!
