We are off to a GREAT start for the 2010-2011 third grade year! We began our classroom economy on the second day of school and Mrs. Sosa, myself, and the kids are all loving it! Each child has a checkbook and can earn or lose money based off of their behaviors and work done in the classroom. Then, at the end of each week each child's checkbook is collected by their homeroom teacher and the students are all given personal checks. At the end of a two week period the children then get to take their checks to the bank to exchange for "cash." The students are then allowed to spend their cash or Star bucks (get it?) in for items at the store. If you ever have any items you would like to donate to the store we would happily accept them! :) Here are some pictures of the grand opening of the bank!
We have also done several fun activities in Math and Science. We did a sewer maggots lab, (ask your kids about it!) a pattern activity during Math where they created patterns out of beads, puff balls, pattern blocks and foam letters, and we did a gas lab. Here are some of the students showing off their lab safety skills before our lab.
