Third Day in Third Grade

On the 3rd day of 3rd grade, we stayed busy. First the boys and girls worked on this packet that consisted of lots of activities that revolved around the number 3. Next, the boys and girls went on a classmate scavenger hunt.
They went around the room and pretty much interviewed each other. For example, "Is your birthday in September? Does your family have a blue car? Can you play the piano?"



Lastly, we read Chrysanthemum.
Ask your child about this book? It is so good!

After reading this story about Chrysanthemum having 13 letters in her name, the students put together unfix cubes according to number of letters in their names.

After they put their cubes together, they put a sticker on each cube with the letters of their names.

We lined them up to see who had the most letters in their name (Reese Anne) and the least number of letters in their name (Eli). Then we discovered that 7 letters in a name was the most common in our classroom.

The boys put all their cubes together to see how many letters were in all their names together (54 letters).

The girls did the same. We discovered that the girls have 59 letters in all their names.

We put them all together and discovered that our class has 113 letters in all.
