Math Time

We have been very busy exploring place value in our classroom. The students are working on a game that involves math conversations. It is great to hear them using math vocabulary when discussing a problem.

The First Day!

We have some very excited students! What a great day we had together! We are working on finding out what we have in common with each other. We learned from author Leo Lionni that friends can affect each other. As one student put it, "We are all different yet we are the same." Here the students are working on Bioglyphs. After finishing, we walked around the classroom reading the glyphs trying to find friends who we had some things in common. Come take a look they are all posted in the third grade hallway!

Welcome to Third Grade

I spent Saturday in the classroom working on some last minute details. I was very lucky to have two special helpers to unpack supplies, make binders and sharpen pencils!! It was great to see some of the students and parents who came by to take a peak at your classroom. There was a lot of excitement in the third grade hallway! I think we are going to have a great year full of exciting adventures. Here are some tips to make the first week a little easier:

1. Bring a bottle of water (it's hot out there)
2. Bring a snack (we have the last lunch at 12:50)
3. Read and complete the school packet that will come home on the first day.
4. Any changes in carpool, please let me know in writing. (note or email will do)

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you. I know we will have a lot of fun learning this year.
Love Ms. Musters
