The third graders are doing well with the math and art concepts! We reviewed horizontal (across) and vertical (up and down) and used a few tricks to remember them- the letter V has up and down lines, and the letter H has an across line. Third graders need lots of memory tips to expand what their brain can remember!

We also reviewed how to carefully follow directions, as directions become more complicated in third grade. We also had to carefully organize our number of coin stamps, as we are not used to having such large amounts of coins! It's excellent practice, organizing our money before we begin counting. Marie and I were also inspired to make a "WAR" type game with index cards the kids have stamped coin amounts on!
