Can you believe it?!?!


Ok, I know we are studying the skeleton - but I didn't plan to break a tiny bone in my wrist just for you guys! I fell when I was roller skating with my family on Saturday. They took X-Rays and gave me this lovely, big, black splint. Writing is very hard. Yes, it hurts. No, I won't take off the splint so you can see my arm. There is nothing to look at anyway.

Here is a lovely picture for you to enjoy! You will have to help me a lot the next few days and weeks. I'm not supposed to carry anything with my right hand. What will YOU do to help me?

These are the songs we have used in school. Of course, be careful on sites like YouTube - you never know when something might come up that isn't meant for kids!

Guess what!?!?!

We have a project to do! We need to fill out a survey for The Great Mail Race! It is from a third grade class in CT. There is some information on the bulletin board in the hallway. How does their class compare to ours? What can we learn from the data?

Math Work Stations

Math Work Stations are different from regular Math lessons. It helps to have an even number of people. There are:

  • Math Games
  • Fast Facts
  • Week by Week Essentials
  • Accelerated Math
  • Problem Solving

Math Work Stations help us learn more math, work out problems, let us learn in a fun way, and give us a chance to work with a partner and alone.

Groups work best if they have 2 people. Sometimes it is best to put a boy and a girl together instead of 2 boys or 2 girls.

If you have any questions for us about Math Work Stations, leave them in the "Comments" section!
