3A Earned their First "Extra Recess" of the Year!

 One of our rewards that we can earn in Mrs. Pfeiffer's class is an "Extra Recess."  As a class, we can earn this by making sure each one of us show responsibility by turning in our homework completed and on time.  Whenever we ALL do this for one day in each subject, we earn one "Extra Recess" point.  When we reach ten points, we get our "Extra Recess!"  Come on, who doesn't LOVE recess? :)

Haunted House Arrays

 Today we learned how arrays can help us with our multiplication by representing those facts using rows and columns.  We also reviewed which ones were rows (side to side) and which were columns (up and down).  For fun, we made 'Haunted House Arrays.'  We hope you like them! :)

"Visions of Paulding County" Search

As we are learning about Paulding County History, Mrs. Pfeiffer brought out her copies of "Visions of Paulding County" from The Historical Archives of the Paulding County Progress.  We found lots of pictures and information about the canals, how the Black Swamp was drained, the names and mascots of all of the old schools in our area, the names of the 'ghost towns,' etc.  It was also really neat to see how buildings/schools/towns looked 'back then' versus how they look now and to compare/contrast what kinds of businesses Paulding County had 'back then' versus now.

 

After reviewing, we got to play "Halloween Bump: Addition- Roll 2 and Add 7 More."  It was a lot of fun practicing our Math facts while trying to "BUMP" our buddies counter off the number.  :)

 

Review Time!

 On Wednesdays, we like to review what we have learned so far.  So this Wednesday, we reviewed how to use bar models when adding and/or subtracting in word problems as well as rounding numbers to the nearest ten.

Our First "Lunch Bunch" of the Year!

Today we had our first "Lunch Bunch" of the year.  "Lunch Bunch" is a reward for any 3A student who  stayed in the 'Homework Club' all month.  All you have to do to stay in the 'Homework Club' is do your homework. :)  If you don't receive more than two HW strikes for the month, you get to go. :)
