May 23-27

The 3rd graders this week completed a homework assignment which had  
them apply their map skills to a map of Japan related to the major  
earthquake suffered earlier this year.

On Tuesday students took their first quiz of the trimester, covering  
Latitude and Relief Maps.

After introducing some procedures to maximize class learning time  
(including making a "thumbs up" to go the bathroom instead of having  
to interrupt to ask to go), the teacher introduced the subject of  
Graphs. Students' favorite activities were polled, and the results  
were applied to a bar graph that the teacher drew on the white board.  
One 3rd grade class had the opportunity to briefly go outside to form  
a "human bar graph" reflecting the results of this poll.

Classes also completed p.64-65, answers for which the teacher reviewed.
