Third Grade

Today I introduced the children to Shongo Networks. This is another exercise in mental discipline.  The children are wonderful about staying focused to accomplish the task.  Here is a link that explains the networks: Shongo Networks - Lawrence Hall of Science.  The Lawrence Hall of Science is the unit I am doing with the children, so this is right "from the horse's mouth."

Next week we'll investigate a mathematical way to know if a network can be traveled in one continuous line.  Please ask your child to show you their trials from today's class.  I was very impressed with the perseverance they showed in trying to get the problems.

Book Orders are due next Friday, Feb. 17.
