In Unit 2 children will make sense of one- and two-step number stories involving all four arithmetic operations. We will solve number stories using diagrams, arrays, pictures, words, and number stories. This will improve problem-solving strategies and help children see that problems can be solved in more than one way. 

We are enjoying reading the delightful book, Rent a Third Grader.  We are learning how the class worked together to save a beloved member of their community.

    Flat Stanleys have begun arriving! We look forward to learning about all the fun places Stanley has been.
We are enjoying our Macon unit so much and have learned some interesting facts about Macon. Our Downtown Tour in October will be the perfect complement to our unit!
Our Soil Science unit continues. This week in class we became "soil detectives" and used our observation skills and knowledge about soil components to figure out what our mystery soils were made of.  In Science lab today, we further investigated some of the causes of soil erosion -wind and water- and discussed ways we can prevent soil erosion.
