The 3rd Grade finished up its work with Mr. Blubberman, who had helped
students understand the concept of Latitude. In the run-up to In-Class
Work #1 on Tuesday, students finished book exercises up through page 55.
Mr. Blubberman and Latitude then exited the scene. Replacing him was
his significant other, Mrs. Stripesberger, on hand to teach the
related theme of Longitude. Students learned Longitude basics
(vertical stripes with degrees up to 180, the Eastern and Western
Hemispheres, and the Prime Meridian) before using these elements to
create (on construction paper) a friend for Mrs. Stripesberger.
Over the subsequent days, 3rd graders worked efficiently on Longitude
book exercises, confirming their understanding and ability to use this
locational measurement.
At the end of the class Friday, the teacher made a call to Mr.
Blubberman, welcoming him back to briefly review Latitude in light of
the following week's Quiz #1.
