Today was our first math workshop. They played Capture 5 adding and subtracting on the hundred chart. They also played Collect $2.00 adding nickels, dimes, and pennies. I am so proud of what they can do. At home continue practicing money and 2digit addition and subtraction. Pics to come.

First Day of Third Grade

Today was the first day of school. I greeted each child with a hug and felt so blessed to be their teacher again. I was so excited last night, I think I lumped way too much into one day. But we had a great time. The kids loved their new money system for behavior and they smiled so big when I explained the Math Competition. I have so many great ideas and new things to try. If the first day is any indication, I know this will be a great year!

Welcome to 2012-2013

Welcome to a new school year! I am so excited for third grade. We have a new Social Studies curriculum, new Common Core State Standards, new students, a new classroom. So much "newness". I am so excited to start the year. I have so many GREAT ideas and plans for your child. I know this school year will be one that you and your child will remember for a long time. Please try to check our blog once a week for pictures and updates about what your child is learning.
