Five for Friday...kind of!


Time for me to try another Five for Friday...although I may be a tad late! 




We've been multiplying like mad in my classroom lately, students loved creating these multiplication strategy foldables.  I was so excited to see my kiddies show-off each of their strategies (equal groups, array, repeated addition, skip counting, and number lines)!  Division here we come! Eek!


I just love having a set of iPads in my classroom! One of the perks, is no AR Test line! 



I don't know about you...but sometimes we just need a little break.  Including my third graders! This year my class loves to play around the world in small groups with their math facts or watch a School House Rock 3 minute music video.  Love it!



My kids always look forward to Friday's Trade-In at the Sweet Shoppe! Here are some of my goodies I've picked up from dollar stores as well as the coupons from Mel D! They are my kiddies favorites! I only put a few types of coupons at a time and then slowly add to the collection throughout the year.


Just a little snap shot that makes me squeal with excitement.  I picked up all of these microfiber cloths for $5 at my local grocery store! Seriously...of all places. These sit on top of the iPad cart ready to spruce up any of those grimy iPad screens.  

As always, thanks for reading and enjoy your weekend!

  4. I love your multiplication foldable idea. We are on our 4's, so I'm doing that! I also love the microfiber cloth idea. My ipads look like my kids had lunch on them by the end of the day. Come on by and visit my blog www.lovesthirdgrade.blogspot.com and we can share some ideas.
