Math

You may have noticed that over the last several weeks we zipped through much of measurement and geometry. As you probably know, that's not my usual style of teaching. As the Math MCAS was approaching quickly, I wanted the children to at least have familiarity with the third grade concepts in each topic. Now that we have completed the MCAS for third grade, we will be revisiting the concepts we've breezed through and look at them more thoroughly. I'm looking forward to facilitating some fun, exploratory, hands-on learning experiences.

We began yesterday with a geometric scavenger hunt of the school and playground. You can use the hunt at home as well! Look for it in your child's folder this afternoon. Happy hunting! :o)
