Edible Numbers

How do you eat a fraction? 1/4 at a time!
This week, we have been studying fractions the FUN way...we've eaten them! Thank you parents, for supplying the materials needed for our delicious math lessons.












Oh, the weather outside is frightful!

What do third graders do when it is snowing in TEXAS? They GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY! A winter wonderland is a rare occasion, and often very brief, so we take full advantage of the opportunity to explore this unique form of precipitation for our area. It was PERFECT timing, as we were studying the water cycle.

















Students removed their socks and shoes to let them dry. The kids formed a heart with their feet, since we "LOVED" playing in the snow! :)
