Happy Monday! Are there ways we can give our kids the repetition and practice they need to become computationally fluent? Snake can help. 40 weeks of week-in, week-out practice for every grade level. They're multi-step, self-correcting, and fun!

Starting out our week with lots of new book choices from @KDLNews. So grateful for the teacher library cards KDL offers, and the ability to extend our classroom library this way. #kdl #rps3rd #rpscrestwood #rockfordreads

Challenging myself to incorporate some #mathart in #mathworkshop & studying polygons, area, and perimeter definitely makes it easier! #mathisfun #rps3rd #rpscrestwood #iteach3rd

[Monica Conrad @RPS3rd]

Solving multi step word problems is so much more fun when you can write on tables. #mathisfun #wordproblems #iteach3rd #rps3rd #rpscrestwood

Since the weather outside is frightful, today would be a good day to read with your children. Couch. Blanket. Hot chocolate. Good books.
