Parents, here are a couple of videos over place value. This also covers how we are composing (forming) and decomposing (breaking apart) numbers. In third grade we work with numbers up to the 100,000 place. This also goes over common misconceptions of our students. If your child is struggling with place value, I hope this will be a helpful tool for them and you!
Yea! You found the blog! This is our place for sharing all the crazy, wonderful things we're doing in the classroom. I absolutely LOVE reading your comments (as do your fellow classmates), so please take a moment to leave one. This is a great way to share your feelings on anything we're doing, comment on your lovely teachers :), or even ask a question.
To leave a comment, go to the post you want to comment on and click on the link where it says the number of comments...like (0 comments). It's directly under the post. Then type your post. Afterwards, select the drop down menu right underneath and click on "name/url". Type your first name in only and leave the url section blank. Click okay and it might ask you to type in a word as a security measure (to make sure you are safely accessing the blog). Your post will be sent to me to approve (so you won't see it automatically) and after I do it will appear on the blog! Viola! That may sound like a lot, but once you do it a bit, it will be so easy and YOU will be a pro at blogging!
We recently had the opportunity to create a new animal or plant with some interesting adaptations. The website below is a great extension that will let students create their "Wild Self"! You get to make your own avatar with some cool adaptations and learn about how these adaptations would be useful. Very fun! Check it out...
