Third graders now learning about prepositions

We had another great day today.  Even with spring break coming up, Mrs. Christian's Crystals are trying hard to follow school procedures.

We started with a fractions review.  

We read silently, as well as continued working on our March Challenge.  The challenge has been good for them because they are working at their individual pace.  It is also helping them with self-discipline because they are doing it on their own.

We also introduced prepositions today.  We used four words (over, under, through, between) to write a sentence and to illustrate to show understanding of the prepositions.  We will work more with them so that they see how they are used.  Then we will define preposition.  Using words and figuring out how they are used by experience, helps them to retain the definitions/meanings.

We went to computers for some Istation math practice.  We also reviewed subtracting across zeroes.  This is a difficult skill for third graders, so we will be revisiting it many times.  

We also did some spelling practice with our individual spelling words. 

Have a great evening!
