We find Ms. Sand and her third grade class in a problem; a math problem. Students used dot boards to solve for the combined area of two rectangles. Some students became really excited once they figured out how drawing on the dot board made the math equation so much easier.
Next week, we will be taking a much needed Fall Break from Eyewitness Emerson (student still have school Monday and Tuesday). Be sure to join us when we return in December with Mrs. Schuessler's third grade class!
