My mom (a retired 3rd grade teacher) came in for a special two day lesson on problem solving with pentominoes! Students abstract and spatial reasoning skills were put to the test!
What LEARNING and GROWING went on in room 217 this week:
Academics
ELA: Students began The 100 Dresses novel by Eleanor Estes. We also practiced word-analysis strategies, and took an interim exam.
