What's a SCHEMA?
Today we problem-solved to figure out what a mystery object was used for. We each used our schema to help us understand what the object was. Can your third-grader explain to you what a schema is or how we use our schema to help us make an inference?

We emptied our Weekly Challenge books and brought home a new challenge for this week (due to the bin by Friday).

REGROUPING
We used regrouping to help us add two-digit numbers in a math problem today. This reminded many us of making a fair trade of 10 pennies for 1 dime when we are dealing with money. We also had a chance to use regrouping in the 'magic' trick that one of our students shared with us today!

Mad Science forms are due to the school by tomorrow if you want to take part in the program.
