The 3rd graders were excited to have another student enter their class this week.  This brings the total number to 4 in 3rd grade, which is double the number we started with at the beginning of the year!

Our new student caught on quickly to our introduction to algebra, Hands-On-Equations.  The  students learned a new “legal move” this week, and Daniel had no trouble picking up on the previous lessons.

The students took on the role of “Illustrator” as they continued to read and discuss Fish in a Tree, and took notes on some short videos we watched about the Great Barrier Reef for our Genius Hour research.
