What to do on a rainy Wednesday - write a new blog post of course!
A new quarter is upon us, and we are beginning our unit on Weather, starting with a review of the Water Cycle. We worked together to make an awesome anchor chart to remember our vocabulary, then kept it going with the "Water Cycle Boogie" (see video below, you won't be able to stop singing!).
With Halloween last week, we spent our workstation time practicing our addition, subtraction and place value strategies with some Halloween Math Centers (from TpT). The students enjoyed collaborating with each other to solve word problems using strip diagrams, classifying numbers by place value, and practicing addition and subtraction algorithms and mental math strategies. Here are some of our third graders working and learning together:
The students then used those strategies to create comic strips illustrating an addition or subtraction problem.
The students had a great time sharing their stories, and are becoming fantastic problem solvers!
Have a FANTASTIC day!
