3rd Graders: I hope you have a great day! Here is the video link that tells what we will be doing today. Use the Apple TV to view as a whole class. Pause and replay the video as needed to find out what you are supposed to accomplish today. See you Tuesday!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5vdPY3Vbdc We are very excited for our 3rd graders to show how much they have learned on the upcoming NeSA tests! If your 3rd grader would like more practice for Monday and Tuesday's NeSA Reading tests, please access the "Online Tools Training" from the link below. You must use Google Chrome as your internet browser when accessing this link.
https://wbte.drcedirect.com/NE/portals/ne Here is a link for multiplication practice that we have been utilizing in class. The problems are randomized and the test is self-correcting. The main goal for your student is to get every problem correct. Once this is achieved, have your student work on getting faster. Students should use "break apart" strategies or repeated addition to show their work, especially on problems they miss so they can figure out what the right answer should be. NO multiplication tables please as this crutch will not be allowed on the NeSA test in April.

By doing this, students can accomplish two classroom objectives at once and make the most of their time at home.
Did you know that we use gonoodle.com as a way to take active brain breaks, reward positive behavior, and incorporate classroom curriculum? Our 3rd graders LOVE it! You can sign up for your own account to use at home...
