Week of March 11, 2013

This has been a busy and crazy week in Third grade. Between it being a short week, taking Spring pictures and a trip to Fort Smith it has been a little wild. We have been working on measurement in math and started a unit on Oklahoma in Social Studies. We went to Fort Smith yesterday to see a production of "Wizard of Oz." The students loved it and then had lots of good pizza at Cici's. The trip was finished off with a visit to Ben Geren park. Remember that next week is Spring break. Enjoy…See More

This has been a good first week back after our long break. It was good to see all the smiling faces back. We have continued to work on division this week by finishing up chapter 6 in our math books. We have seen how it relates to subtraction and is the inverse operation of multiplication. I have been really pleased with the student's progress on this topic. We were also lucky enough to get to work with iPads in our classroom on Wednesday. Mrs. Parks came in and set up stations for the…See More

With this being the week of fall break, we are did few things different in class. We watched a video on how symmetry is used in mathematics, then the students were shown examples of city skylines. After viewing the skylines, students were given pattern blocks, blue construction paper, and black construction paper. They traced the shapes on the blue paper and then constructed a city skyline on half of the black paper and then had to make a symmetrical skyline on the other half. We had some…See More

Week of October 1, 2012 Donna Morris

This week we continued our work on graphs. We worked on line plots, picture graphs, bar graphs, and frequency tables. Students used IXL and that quiz to practice their graphing skills. Friday's test was given on the computer for the second time this year. Most students did very well. I am giving the students who struggles with it some, the opportunity to redo the test on Monday using pencil and paper. I feel that it is very important that students treat a test on the computer just like…See More

This week seemed to be a lot easier for the students. Our week was spent working on different types of graphs. Students learned the names of various types of graphs, how to read the graphs, and answer questions about the graphs. We also did a class survey over the students favorite types of foods. Next week will be a continuation of graphs. Congratulations to our third grade classes. In our division, we raised the most money for the library and were rewarded with a pop and popcorn treat…See More

Week of Sept. 10, 2012 Donna Morris

We are still busy working on our first chapter in our math books. The topics we have mainly been covering this week are different ways to subtract large numbers. We used mental math strategies, place value, estimating differences, and then the standard way of regrouping (borrowing). Students seemed to have a pretty good grasp of the topic. We will finish up the first chapter next week and then move onto Chapter 2 which deals with various types of graphs. That chapter is a lot shorter and…See More

Students are progressing nicely on their cursive handwriting. Several have even made the comment that they catch themselves writing in cursive when they aren't required to. This week both classes wrote a descriptive paragraph on the topic of their choice. After pre-writing web and writing the actual paragraph, the students exchanged papers with a partner and proofread their papers. I was pleased with the outcome from this writing topic. In math, we worked on multiplication of 5's. All I…See More
