Learning About Math Notebooks

Today we started to learn how a mathematician uses a math notebook.  Look below for one group's "noticings" about a math notebook they investigated.


Way to go mathematicians!

Welcome Kolkebeck's Chemists, Third Grade Class of 2015!!!

Welcome to the very first post of the 2014-2015 school year!

You can find so much information on our blog-- from our schedule, to upcoming events, to what we will be learning in school, AND LINKS TO HOMEWORK!!!  My goal is to update our blog at least once per week.

The first week in school, we spent a lot of time learning the expectations of how to be Safe, Respectful Learners.  We practiced our expectations at the carpet, our desks, at recess and in the hall (see below).


 Our classroom rules this year are:

1.  Follow directions quickly
2.  Raise your hand for permission to speak
3. Raise your hand for permission to leave your desk
4. Use kind words and actions
5.  Help everyone learn

Try to discuss some of these rules with your child at home.  Why are they important?  What does it look like to follow these rules?
