It sure is good to get back to school after quite an eventful time off. I'm ready to get back to a regular week and get into a solid routine! How about you?<br />
<br />
I will be sending text message home about tutoring times, so thank you for getting back to me so I can verify the tutoring schedule and accommodate as many students as possible.<br />
<br />
Our winter MAP scores will be coming back soon, and I will be setting up parent conferences to discuss these results. I want to make sure each student is moving forward in 3rd grade and is performing at the level necessary to be prepared for 4th grade! Look for your child's MAP goal setting sheet in this week's folders so you can help discuss your child's performance goals.<br />

So far students have not only learned about fractions and equivalent fractions, we're diving into comparing fractions through models and word problems. The videos and slideshows below will assist you in helping your child be successful in this week's work.<br />

I had an amazing Christmas vacation traveling to South and North Carolina to visit with friends and family. I was blessed by some amazing friends who flew me out to SC and provided a car to travel to visit everyone. While I hated that my uncle was in the hospital a couple days, it was wonderful to be a part of the support system in helping him through the health difficulties he was experiencing. I got to meet my new 5 month old niece Grace and fell in love with her. I felt the sad disappointment of Clemson loosing their chance at the National Championship, but so enjoyed the company of many friends and family that I quickly forgot about the loss. It was so wonderful to get home to my furry boys, get some rest and prepare for 2018.<br />

The beginning of 2018 gives us the opportunity of a clean fresh slate. I'm excited to dive into the learning process and continue an amazing year in 3rd grade. We've learned a lot this year, but we have many more academic adventures to take on. Are you with me? Let's go!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h2>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">This week in...</span></b> </h2>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Math</b> ~</span><br />
<br />
We continue our learning of fractions, specifically representing equivalent fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 using objects, pictorial models, and number lines.<br />
<br />

We enjoyed making snow angels and having a snowball fight. This was a perfect segway into introducing our activity to design 3D snowflakes. Look for more information to come. December is flying by quickly! Only 2 weeks till our Christmas holiday. </span>If you have not already sent in your child's $2 for the Christmas party, please do this right away :) Our Christmas party will be December 22nd at 8:30am.<br />

Carefully touch the soils and think about the texture of them. Smell the soils and think about how to describe the smells. You cannot use good or bad in your descriptions. On a piece of notebook paper, write your name, date, number, and on the second line under your name, write the title "Observations of Soil Containers." Write the name of the first container and describe each kind of soil (physical properties, touch, smell, etc). Complete this process for each container of soil. Save this paper in your Science folder and attach it to your checklist when the Soil Checklist is due to receive all the points for this assignment.</span></span></div>

After working diligently in their math journals, students then transferred their work onto their "dot plate" and then transformed it with their personal flair. Later students shared their work with their classmates (with the standard form of their number covered) and they were able to determine the plate's number from the different forms the numbers had been written in. </div>

My students truly learned to make their mark during this year's International Dot Day as we explored a wide variety of new experiences. We not only learned within our class, but we extended our to a fellow class within our school, but also other classes throughout the world through our Twitter feed.<br />
<br />
My class would love to hear about your International Dot Day experiences, and we would love to connect with you for International Dot Day 2017!<br />

I adopted both of them when they were 6 weeks old, and this year Pumpkin is 18 and Tigger is 13. Although we may be a small unique family, we love each other very much....well, sometimes I have to remind the two boys of this :) My boys are perfect snugglers and love to take lots of naps. I love when Pumpkin snuggles up in my hair and Tigger snuggles by my side. They love being close to their mommy!<br />
<br />
One of their favorite things the boys like to do is to eat grass. While they are only inside cats, I let them out on the front yard for a little bit so they can chew on a couple blades. Another favorite time is when I give out treats. Pumpkin likes to meow a lot to let me know when it's treat time, but sometimes I have to tell him its to early. Both of the boys love to sit in the windows and watch the world pass by especially birds and insects. Sometimes they make a funny meowing sound when they see a bird.<br />
<br />
Who is in your family? What do you love about them. Are there special things you enjoy doing? I look forward to hearing from you!<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">As I went about some of my favorite fall routines this past month, I never realized how my fall pumpkin purchase in Hendersonville, North Carolina would springboard collaboration and communication from my class to classes throughout North America. I'm not sure my purchased pumpkin realized the journey it was about to go on either! </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">One of my goals as a teacher is to bring experiences into the lives of my students that they may not be receiving at home, so naturally since I grew up having fun with pumpkins, it made it especially fitting to bring a pumpkin to my classroom. The difference between having a pumpkin then and now is all the possibilities social media and technology can offer. I began contemplating an idea for collaborating with my Twitter friends, building valuable estimation and thinking skills in students, and vwala, Pumpkin Power emerged! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My students were excited, our Twitter friends started flying in to join us and so began a joint learning adventure that brought out many connections and collaboration opportunities that I never experienced when I was in elementary school. My students and I thoroughly enjoyed each time we checked our Twitter feed to find a new development in the collaborative ideas being created in this project. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So how did Pumpkin Power work? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I tweeted a picture of our pumpkin, a google doc introducing the project and let teachers and classes know how they could participate. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

goal was to give various clues to my students and Twitter classes
helping them make reasonable estimates on how much the pumpkin weighed.
With each clue, more information would be given to help refine estimates. What made the project especially engaging were the questions
being asked by the participants that would then help my class create clues to give out in our tweets throughout the project. </span></span></span></span></div>

was such an encouraging experience to develop collaborative experiences

students were especially excited to see all the locations that joined
us. They developed an awareness for destinations they had previously no point of
reference for. Thank you to all our participating classes for allowing us to join
your class in the learning process and for helping us develop more of a global
awareness through the use of our simple pumpkin!</span></span></div>

Part 2<b style="font-size: x-large;"><i><u>My Strategies</u></i></b><span style="font-size: large;">: </span><br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Skip-counting ~ a NECESSARY foundation, a point of reference to figure out a basic fact.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Combine skip-counting with the basic facts ~teach the facts as fact families.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Be creative with a variety of approaches ~ use these approaches throughout the <b><u>ENTIRE</u></b> year in whole group, small group, and individual practice!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">--K Tripp</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Give your students a "real" audience ~ move your creations beyond the walls of your classroom:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*Embed in your class blog or website</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*Share with other classes via Twitter, Edmodo, FaceBook, email and other forms of social media</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*Send home QR codes for parents and students to use outside of school.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><i><u>Creative Approaches</u></i></b><span style="font-size: large;">: used as either whole class, small group or individual practice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">A. Singing:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*Listening stations</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*Google voice</span><br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;"><i><u>VERY IMPORTANT</u></i></b><span style="font-size: large;">: Continue to review math facts all throughout the year. This reinforced practice will pay dividends as you move to longer problems involving multi-steps processes. Students will be able to focus more on the process instead of trying to remember their basic math facts!</span></div>

Each day, Miss Tripp awards the "thumbs up" award to students she catches doing something special. It could be something said or done towards another student that was meaningful or thoughtful. It could also be something a students displays in their academic abilities. This award is for highlighting and encouraging students to move above their normal behavior into the unusual, rewarding, and challenging choices that make them uniquely special!</div>
<br />
Each time a student wins the "thumbs up" award, there name is place in a drawing. At the end of the month, the name that is drawn is awarded that month's trophy to take home. Congratulations to all my students who daily strive to win the "thumbs up" award!!!<br />

This activity was so much fun, we decided to include our Twitter friend in the learning process. We were so excited about the response we received from different global location. It's amazing how one simple activity became a global outreach of learning! Thank you Twitter friends for joining us. We would love to hear from you again, what you're studying and how we can join you in the learning process. Watch our Animoto for the names of our winners!<br />
