Making Our Mark

After reading, the dot, by Peter Reynolds, we were inspired to jot down how we would make our marks this year as 3rd graders!

Addition

We have been working with 'collection cards' in Math Workshop. Each 'collection card' has a quantity that matches the amount in the collection.  These quantities have helped guide our practice with addition.  Check out some of the strategy work that went on in our workshop today while we were comparing collections.  These pictures showcase the many ways to solve one problem.  We have some brilliant thinkers in our class!

Bulletin Boards

Come by and check out our new standards based bulletin board.  We change these quarterly to update and showcase the work that is going on in our classroom.  This particular board is based around our notebooks.  We use notebooks for all of our workshops and we do believe they are great and powerful!
