The 30 Thrilling Thinkers

The 30 Thrilling Thinkers

Thirty young friends arrived in our class
We knew when we saw them that we’d have a blast
Teaching them so many interesting things
All of the wonderful skills third grade brings


The Yurok, the Navajo, and the Timucuan
Reading about Axel, Dogzilla, and Mulan
Going to the zoo, IMAX, MOSH, and Tree Hill
And the Smart Board always providing a thrill

We worked on our slices, like 7 X 3
And made powerpoints and dressed up for biographies
During the Spring, we slammed our FCATs
And showed our school that we knew our facts!

Math Towns were great and they all worked so hard
Building these cities out of yarn and cardboard
The class loved their book clubs and discussing them daily
But the greatest book of all was Hugo Cabret.

As we come to a close, we have to say good bye
We have great confidence that you will fly high
We will miss you all so much and send you with good cheer
Thanks for making this a wonderful year!

Math Towns are complete!

The kids did such a great job with their completed Math Towns. They added neat accents like fountains, beaches, lakes, and playgrounds. It was a great activity to help us wrap up our year in math!








The Middle of Math Town....

This is the in progress stage of Math Town. We are working on using the templates we made to create our 3D versions of our town!
