We had a very productive day
in third grade today.
We started with a hidden
picture puzzle.
In math we worked more with
fractions. You wouldn’t believe the level of thinking we had going on
today. We used fractions when we worked with our rhyming words in
reading. I told them that 5/24 would be red. 4/24 would be green, and
4/24 would be 4/24 would be pink. Then I asked them what fraction told us
how many jelly beans were red, green, or pink. They answered quickly with
13/24. They added fractions, without really knowing it. Then I
asked what fraction of them were not red, green, or pink. Again, 11/24
was the quick answer. I was beaming!
In reading we finished
reading the passage about the grasshopper and answered several different
questions and practiced several different skills .
In language arts, we worked
with some words that had the “oi” or “ow” sound in them. We had to also
find which sentence combined two sentences correctly.
We took our spelling
tests. I now have 2 different lists.
In social studies we worked
with a map scale.
