Parents, here is a video for you to see how we are composing (forming) and decomposing (breaking apart) numbers. In third grade we work with numbers up to the 100,000 place.

Welcome to our class blog!
Yea! You found the blog! This is our place for sharing all the crazy, wonderful things we're doing in the classroom. We 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!

Science Fun
Last Friday we set our adult ladybugs free. Today we completed some dancing experiments where we made water move and groove and raisins boogie on down. Science is always so fun!

Inherited Traits
I think inherited traits are loads of fun to learn about. I often see my hands have the same look as my mom's hands did. I look at my sons and see these little kids looking back at me with smiles that look like mine! It's science fun for sure! What inherited traits do you share with your family?
Progression of Mathematical Operations
I recently came across these videos on the progression of addition/subtraction and the progression of multiplication/division. This really appeals to me not just as a math teacher, but also as a parent. I will say that my first grader has been introduced to the concept of multiplication (by his teacher; not his mother), specifically skip counting, and it blows my mind what he can do. I think understanding how students build on these operations, instead of focusing on just a grade level (let's do this in 2nd grade, or wait for this strategy until 5th grade) allows us to give our kiddos what they are ready for when they are ready for it! Parents, please take a moment to watch these!
