A personal note from Mrs. Christian

Please tell your child I can’t wait to see them tomorrow. I will stop by. 

When this all started, I told them I wasn’t interested unless I could wait until August. Leaving my students mid-year is not something I wanted to do. But the school was “in a pickle," and I was talked into it. 

But I get to be the grandmother of my students now. I will be able to get them for different projects/activities.

Tell them, also, that just because we are now in different rooms, it doesn’t mean I am no longer here for them. I will always be here for them. 

Thank you for allowing me to work with your child!

Another great day of hands-on learning in third grade

Another great day!

We worked on multiplication.

We also started a writing project that we will complete tomorrow.

We practiced finding the correct space using a grid, as well.

Tomorrow is our party. 

Students measure using centimeters

We had a marvelous day. We measured using centimeters today. They did quite well.

We also read multiple books today and worked on comprehension and story elements.

We revisited multiplication facts today.

We did some sentence editing, also.

Third graders begin studying time

We were quite busy today.

We completed our Alpha Plus test in reading. 

We introduced time. We added information to our notebooks about telling time.

We made an ornament with our pictures on them. 

We also enjoyed the honor choir and the first grade programs. 

Have a great evening.

Students work on reading strategies, complete the continental Christmas tree, and do some measuring practice

We had a wonderful day today. We worked on reading strategies. These will help them when having to work independently. 

We also completed our continental Christmas tree. They caught on to using an atlas very quickly. 

We did some more measuring practice today. We also went over the "broken ruler" lesson again, as well. I also shared with them why the zero is not the end of the ruler, itself. The ends get worn, so after time the measurements wouldn't be accurate. 

If you haven't sent your money for our party this Friday, please do so. I am busy getting things together.

No blogpost today

Mrs. Christian was sick and had to go home early today, so no blogpost. 

Class takes Alpha Plus math test, continues work on perimeter, compares book to movie

We had a very busy day today. We completed our math test on Alpha Plus. We also worked with perimeter some more.

We discussed our read-aloud after finishing it today. Many took an AR test on it. 

We also took the first half of the Alpha Plus reading test. They were reminded to do their personal best. 

We worked on our continental Christmas trees. 

We compared the movie Cranberry Christmas to the book. There were several differences.

Have a great evening.
