Learning our Multiples The 2nd grade Common Core fluency mastery standard for math are the multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10. In 3rd grade, it is our job to master the multiples of 6, 7, 8, and 9 . Therefore, we are beginning daily practice in math fluency for all 3rd graders. Here are our multiples songs and a video of us practicing! Multiples of 6 Multiples of 7 Multiples of 8 Multiples of 9

As a way to add to the Lucy Calkins Narrative Writing unit, we made iMovie small moment trailers! We used our small moment story mountains to help us create these masterpieces. So many important skills went into creating these trailers. The students followed a rubric, synthesized their stories, found pictures to match ideas, used show not tell, and finally prepared their pieces in an iMovie trailer. The students then created their own "movie poster" and learned all about QR codes. This was an incredible effort by all our 3rd grade students! Please stop by to scan your child's QR code (must download a QR code reader to your smartphone.) If you don't have a smartphone, you can ask your child to show you on their iPad. Enjoy!
