The third grade math group is wrapping up their own personal home design based on multi-step problem solving. Students then created blue prints of their dream homes. A ball pit room? An indoor pickle ball court? A stuffie room? Yes, please!
Third Grade Literacy Group starts their own book clubs!
I am so proud of this phenomenal group of young readers and leaders. They are off to a stellar start hosting their own book clubs.

What role did mythology play in the construction of the civilization?
What contributions (if any) are found in modern civilizations?
And debating what was the most successful ancient civilization in history.
Fraction Foodies with Third Grade Math
The third grade math group recently worked with complex fractions to create menus with specified parameters. Their math work was precise and the menus were full of creative cuisines. Overall 5 stars!
For this unit, students have spent the semester learning about ethical research and how to find valid, reliable sources. Topics chosen for this study included sea turtles, oil spills in the ocean, climate change and other environmental issues. Their fact finding mission was organized on their first-ever created outline, then translated to a presentation that was shared with the class.
