Human Body Stories Are Complete!!!

We have been working for SO long on our human body stories that I forgot when we even started. Our class is full of very creative third graders and these stories are proof of that. We are writing about shrink rays, normal rays, magic chocolates, hairy discoveries, and even death by Q-tip! I could never have imagined such awesome writing coming from watching a few Magic School Bus episodes. My students should be very proud of themselves and I know they are very excited to share their writing at the upcoming human organ museum! So keep checking in for more photos and videos of our hard work!

Math Centers

In order to better master our multiplication skills, students have been spending the past 3 weeks rotating through multiplication themed centers. Students use manipulative cubes and ice cube trays to group numbers and multiply unknown equations while recording their findings in a journal like Asha is in the photograph above, or multiply while hopscotching like Nasra is below. 

Other multiplication centers include:

Multiplication Memory: Students match the product to the problem.

Multiplication Checkers: Students can't move the piece until they answer the multiplication problem on the square they are trying to move to.

Word Problems: Students write their own multiplication word problems using lists of things that come in groups of 2-12 we have created that are hanging in the classroom.
