History of Madison

Counting Money 

In math we started working with money! It has been very exciting to 

make change with the fake money. The real work application of this 

skill has been useful in helping students make change. 

Perimeter

We also started learning about what perimeter is and how we find the perimeter

of a rectangle. We practiced finding the perimeter of rectangular items in the classroom.

As a challenge, some students found the perimeter of the large carpet! 

History of Madison

This week we began reading about the history of Madison. Many of us were suprised

to learn about what the area looked like many years ago compared to now. Each student worked

with a partner taking notes on important topics and details. To model

what impact the glaciers had on Madison's land formation, Ms.Winter did a 

demonstration- Edible glaciers!

Writing Paragraphs

In writing we began taking our notes and writing paragraphs. Each topic 

that they chose to research will have its own paragraph that will

be typed and put on their final poster! Everyone has done a great

job of taking detailed notes so that they can write informational

paragraphs that they will share with the audience on the final presentation day. 

3rd Grade Country Gallery Walk

Just a reminder- The third grade country gallery walk will be taking 

place on December 18th. We would love to have families join us for this 

celebration where students will be presenting their research projects on 

the country of their choice !
