Please note the following time change: The 3/4 Coffee with the Principal on October 24th will now start at 9:30 am.
We did it! We are finished with MEAPs for the year! The kids did such a great job this week! Tomorrow and Friday will be back to the normal routine. Yay! Most of today was devoted to the 4th grade writing MEAP. However, we did find time to have math for an hour this morning, and then again for thirty minutes this afternoon!
During third grade math this morning, we continued discussing subtraction. Some students came to the board to and used our interactive pen to show us the Counting Up method. Then, we practiced Trades First, our second subtraction algorithm. Tonight's homework practices Trades First. The HW tonight is JP 49, JP 50 and HL 2.8, all due tomorrow.
This afternoon, we separated into math classes again. We spent our time playing Name That Number on the iPad. Kids who were not up at the iPad were at their seats using post-it notes to play. It was a great game and some of the kids developed amazing number sentences!
That's it for today, short and sweet! Have a great evening and thank you for reading!
