Great things happening in @lexiadams3rd math workshop @KenwoodElementa to help students meet their individual goals #kubway @3rdGradeKubs

99math has been a vital tool in mine and our classrooms to help build addition fluency! This game based website allows us to celebrate student success as well as whole class success! It takes 5 minutes to do and has become a normal part of our math workshop! @KenwoodElementa

@Mallory_J23 @KarlaFidoe @JillHandleyKES @KenwoodElementa My students really appreciated hearing about fourth grade and seeing your students' work!

3rd and 4th grade Meet and Greet was a success. This year’s 4th graders did a wonderful job with their presentations about 4th grade. It was so great to meet our incoming 4th graders! @KarlaFidoe @3rdGradeKubs @JillHandleyKES @KenwoodElementa #kubway

Enjoying the fun of reading and being a third grader with flashlight reading in our blanket forts. We are lifelong readers in Fidoe's class! #jcps #readingforpleasure #kenwoodelementa

What does reading look like? It looks like students making choices! Do I need to practice a specific skill? Do I need time to read? Do I need to collaborate with a partner? #personalizedlearning #jcps #learneragency #reading

In math we are learning how to measure with a ruler to the nearest 1/4 inch. Then, we are using our data to make graphs. Yesterday, we traced our shoes to measure the size of our feet. Then we made a line plot! Checkout our graphs! @KenwoodElementa

Peer reviewing is always one of my favorite days of a writing unit! It’s such a powerful way for students to share their writing with an authentic audience! Their fiction narratives are blowing my mind! 🤯@KenwoodElementa

Mathematicians working together while comparing fractions on a number line! @KenwoodElementa

Kenwood 3rd graders made Valentines for the adult residents at Cedar Lake Lodge! We are so proud of them! @DunnBobbi @KenwoodElementa

@KaylaJoAdams @JillHandleyKES @KenwoodElementa @jhendersoneds We all dressed up like our favorite old lady @DunnBobbi

Flowers, bees, and pollination, oh my! We investigated how pollination occurs with the help of bees using cinnamon and coffee grounds! @KenwoodElementa

Thanks @kmanley0628 for suggesting our third graders attend the @gregtangmath lesson today on division! Our students were so engaged and their understanding of division has been deepened! @KenwoodElementa

Spotlight if the week goes to @DunnBobbi @KenwoodElementa @JillHandleyKES congrats!

The third grade math teachers became “walking anchor charts” to help with the tricky concept of area and perimeter that we started today! @KenwoodElementa @lexiadams3rd @DunnBobbi

[Kenwood’s Thriving Third Grade @3rdGradeKubs]

Yesterday we began partnering with the other 3rd grade classes to start our “Design a Playground” PBL project! Our students showed so much ownership of their unique playgrounds & loved having so much voice & choice! @KenwoodElementa #Zone1derful #JCPSkyMath

[Kenwood’s Thriving Third Grade @3rdGradeKubs]

Fridays are days we can work on extending our knowledge through projects and experiments. We spent the morning Designing a Playground by using status and multiplication. I love seeing the collaboration of our mathematicians!

[Kenwood’s Thriving Third Grade @3rdGradeKubs]

We love using our interactive smart panels to allow our students to write on and solve problems we feature in math! This helps facilitate student led discussions and it helps us catch misconceptions in real time! @KenwoodElementa #JCPSDigIn #JCPSDigitalTransformation
