Math for May

Hello All,

In May we will be finishing up with assessments and then getting into the most fun Math unit of 3rd grade.  BRIDGES!!!!  It is a time where we get to learn about the basic type of bridges and then build some ourselves.  Of course it goes perfectly with our Portland Storyline.  It is always exciting when Math and Storyline get to pair up.  But we need materials.  General invention center materials are good.  Toilet paper/paper towel tubes, yogurts, boxes etc.  We will start building in about 2 weeks.

Speaking of Assessments we will start the SBAC test next week.  We will spend about 45 minutes a day, 3 days a week for the next 5 weeks.  Students who are finished will have quiet things to work on in the lab.  Students who are opted out will have other arrangements made for them during that time.

Reminder:  Our culmination for our Portland Storyline will be in the evening off site.  We will be having it at The Children’s Place bookstore on Tuesday, June 5th @ 6:00pm.
