Hard at work, and it's only the first week!!

Fortunately, many of my third graders knew each other from second grade. Many of us came from Mrs. Belanger's class, some from Mrs. Soucy and few students came from Mrs. Clark and Ms. Barber. We were already friends and felt very comfortable in our new learning environment, enabling us to get to work immediately. Here, Mohamed and Noah worked together putting our numeracy center together. They used an instruction manual, drawings, and a wrench on Thursday morning to complete this task. Thanks to their hard work our class will now be recording days spent in school through the calendar and a place value chart, and utilizing a  Venn diagram, 100s chart, and money counting tool. Having seen how easy it was for them to build the numeracy chart, I do intend to keep Noah and Mohamed on hand when our DonorsChoose donations arrive in the mail these upcoming weeks! Our class will be receiving a Lakeshore Store & Display Teaching Cart, a Lakeshore 3-in-1 Mobile Book Library, and two blue bean bags!! These items will be a great addition to our classroom meeting area and students can't wait to see them when they get here!!
