Frisco History - Mrs. Fowler Presentation

One of my favorite units that we study in third grade is Frisco History.  Frisco has more history than the students realize and I always enjoy when Mrs. Fowler visits to teach the students all about Frisco.  Here are pictures from Mrs. Fowler's presentation.

 

 

Boosterthon Fun Run

We had a great time at the Boosterthon Fun Run!  Our class pledged for nearly $70 per lap.  That is amazing! I'm so glad to have a great class!

 

Rounding!

We have been practicing rounding in class.  This is finding the nearest ten or hundred.  One mistake often made is when you see a number like 487.  That number has 4 hundreds so some students may think that 487 rounds to 400, but the number is actually closer to 500. 
Here is a video to show how to use rounding hills to practice estimation.

For a view of how rounding hills work, here are charts that explain how rounding works.

Please practice rounding at home!
