Third Grade: Day 122

Tuesdays are becoming our lite classroom days. With piano in the morning, I have gotten into the habit now of clearing most of the work from our schedule for the day. It makes for a less stressful day and if all the work doesn’t get finished, we just bump it to Wednesday or Thursday. It’s great! Tuesdays make for great days to get to the library.

I review books online and place them on hold the night before and then pick them up the following day! It’s so awesome!

This weeks selection of books are:

This book is very cool as it lists all the Native Americans that were along the trail.
It too goes along with our new book for the week and our Indian Prayer Journal that we have been doing all year!

After piano lessons:

I have really been focusing on math lately. Learning the multiplication tables, new language and concepts. It’s been tough but Isabel is getting it with review after review after review. Today we worked on multiplication tables, division by 2,3, 4, 5, 10 and 11, perimeter and making change. She enjoyed making change and she is making great progress in division as she continues to working on learning her multiplication tables.
