Digital Citizenship

In third grade, students begin using different types of apps like CCSearch, which "build(s) a more equitable, accessible, and innovative world" and Edmodo, which is a way for students to connect and collaborate online.  Using these apps opens our communication about being a digital citizen.

Following units from Common Sense Media, we begin by talking about Rings of Responsibility to answer the question, "What kinds of responsibilities does a good digital citizen have?"   Next, we focus on being a Super Digital Citizen to answer the question: "How can people help others to be good digital citizens?"  The students have created super heroes to help other students remember online responsibilities.

Rolling Along In Math

The girls continue to strengthen their knowledge of the base ten number system. This is a fun hands on activity to reinforce the concept of place value.

Each player rolls a dice and then determines where to place the digit in order to build the highest five digit number. 

Being able to view the number your partner is making, strategic planning, and a high roll all help to win each round.

French: Two weeks until take-off
