Today I spent some time on line looking at the new math series we will use. It is called, Go Math. It looks great! I really like that we will be able to use the Promethean with it for interactive activities. I think the kids will like practicing with games. Just like our reading series, tests will be taken online. Much of our math will be web based. I plan to spend some time every day moving through math groups. I will work with a group of children while another group uses the computer and a third group does paper/pencil or centers.
It is going to be very important for students to stay on task this year. We will not be able to get very much done if students do not do what they are assigned to do. Third grade means keeping on task and getting work done in a timely manner.
I am also trying to figure out how to arrange our room. I have had to get rid of our big reading table because it took up too much room. I am not sure how or where I will meet with small groups. It may mean that kids will have to sit in different desks during part of the day.
