Mrs. Linse and I both like it very much because the concepts covered are in line with the Ontario Grade Three curriculum. It also offers opportunities to solve higher order thinking problems which is something that we're always looking to develop.

Math practice anyone?
"I xl" is a great website for students to practice their Math skills. It's a subscription site but you can play for quite some time for free.

Our Counting by Threes Song
We had a blast making this little video today! We've been practicing our times tables as part of the Morning Message (more on that in a later post). We've learned that we can use our Counting by Threes song to help us remember our times tables easily.
I can't remember what exactly prompted all this "Who are you folks?" teasing in the video but it was something to do with me pretending not to understand that I was a teacher and wondering why, each and every day, the same 18 kids showed up to my "office" and hang around 'til 3:20.
Please have your child practice this song regularly. More songs are coming!

Our pal, the comma
We're going to have a mini lesson today (Wednesday) on how we use the comma to separate items in a list.
The boys and girls will be completing this gratitude page I created for this purpose.
I'll send it home for keeps as I think it's one of those treasures that children would enjoy looking back on ten and twenty years from now.

If you're a teacher and you'd like to do this activity with your class, here's a copy of the printable.
