Math Madness in 3P

On Wednesday, November 26, 3P will hold our annual Math Madness Day! Parents, siblings, and other family members are invited to come to Room 203 at 11:00 AM to play math games with the students. We have really been practicing, so get ready to learn some fun games! The idea of this activity is to show families that there are so many games you can play with simple items you have around your house like dice and a pad of paper.

I would love it if students and families left comments on how they thought our Math Madness went! Which games were your favorite? Which do you think were the most difficult to learn? Will you try some of these games at home? Do you have any suggestions for games for our next Math Madness? Did you enjoy using the SmartBoard?

Please leave a comment and tell us what you think!

Election Day 2008

Our school election went WONDERFULLY today! I was so proud of my students and the students of Southern Boulevard School that participated in our election for president. You are responsible members of our school community and you exercised your right to vote!

The election asked students what they thought was the most important characteristic of our next president. SBS decided through this election that honesty was the most important.

I'm glad we had the opportunity to discuss the voting process and how elections work in our country. We had a very important discussion before we voted that gave us a little more information about each candidate and where they stand on certain issues.

We learned a little about each candidate today, but I still have lots of questions I'd like to ask to find out more about them. Do you?

If you had the chance to ask the presidential candidates a question, what would it be? What is important to you that you'd like our next president to understand? What information would you still like to know about the candidates before citizens of this country vote for our next president?
