As we talked about Hellen Keller, our class became very interested in learning some sign language. Here is a simple link that teaches students signs.

Our class watched part of the video and really enjoyed it. They caught on very quickly and memorized several of the signs.
This blog is dedicated to the learning activities that take place in my Third Grade classroom. Student work will be showcased and they will assist in writing blog posts.

Social Studies: Hellen Keller
This week we are finishing up our unit on Communication. Today we discussed Hellen Keller and the challenges she faced growing up. Today we did a few exercises to see what it would feel like to be blind and deaf. Below are some pictures of student working with partners to draw while being "blind". They really liked these activities and we had a wonderful discussion about how Hellen Keller had a lot of grit and perseverance.

Math: Money Review
Today we reviewed money. We discussed the value of each coin and practiced counting change. Students went around the classroom with a partner and added up the value of the given coins. Students then discussed how they solved each one.
