3A: A Week at a Glance
week ending November 13, 2015
A Note From Mrs. Adams
Welcome back after a relaxing (hopefully!) fall break! Just a few quick notes...
* We have a math test next Friday on Unit 4. I know we just had a math test, however this is a short unit on the basics of multiplication and division in number stories. If you hold onto the completed homework throughout the unit, it will be a good review for them. We'll also be completing a test review the day before.
* Third grade is being asked to donate pasta for the Thanksgiving drive. Donations are due by Monday, November 23rd.
* School pictures will be coming home today. They came out great, however if you are unhappy for any reason, make up pictures are next Friday, November 20th.
Math Madness
Written by the students of 3A!
Below are pictures of the arrays we created using the app Skitch.
Making arrays in math
Photoshop Arrays
In the computer lab, we learned how to make arrays using Photoshop. What a great way to tie our math to technology!
Social Studies
We learned about the continents, oceans, countries that make up our continent, and even the hemisphere our continent is on. Below are pictures of us using a small globe as we worked with partners to find the equator and Prime Meridian. By finding those, we were able to locate the hemispheres.
