Third graders focus on fractions





We had a great day!    We read silently for bell work today.

In math we discussed the connection between fractions and money.  We came up with multiple ways to make a dollar.  We worked in groups.  Then we took a quiz.  We also worked on Scoot cards we didn’t have time to finish yesterday.

In reading we started our new SRA packets.  They are due next Thursday, March 15.  We also worked on word skills using our spelling words. 

In spelling we used fractions.  We took a word, such as monopoly. Then we wrote the fraction that showed vowels, and the fraction that showed consonants.  So monopoly had 4/8 vowels, and 4/8 consonants. 

In science we drew the actual outcome of our Unicorn crystals.  It turned out much larger than we expected!
