Nonfiction Cereal Box Book Report!

This month our reading strategy is all about nonfiction! To go along with our unit, we will be reading a nonfiction book of choice. Project directions can be found under the "project" tab. Here are a few examples from last year!

Busy December!

We've been busy the past few days! The beginning of term 2 means the start of new units. We are in full swing with multiplication. We've been discussing different ways to solve word problems using repeated addition and arrays. Today we played a class favorite called multiplication bump. This game is great practice for our 2's table. 

In writing we have been discussing how to teach a topic across our fingers. Our new unit is an informational unit where students become the experts and teach others. My piece of writing for mini lessons has lots to do with Barcelona-stay tuned for some interesting information about the city!!

Wanted! Lon Po Po

Reward for capturing the wolf! Make sure he can't continue to fool the children. 

Save me! I am not a turkey!

This home project has been one of my all time favorites! I am blown away at the creativity and fun everyone had with this. We had all different types of turkey- from Katy Perry, Santa and helpers , sports players, soldiers, and animals! 

Halloween graphing

A third grade unit of study focuses on reading and creating graphs. Students collected data about everyone's favorite type of Halloween candy by bringing in a wrapper. We decided how to categorize our information, create an appropriate scale and read our data!

Food Drive

Thank you for all he VERY generous donations to the food pantry this year. The grade winner will be announced tomorrow. As a class we decided to graph our donations as they came in. It was a very close race between the girls and the boys until the last day. 

Noun song

Today we started learning about nouns! We watched this School House Rock song to help us learn what a noun is. How many nouns can you find in this song?
