Have you seen snow rollers yet?

Here's my picture from yesterday.  We headed up north to go shopping and this group was too nice to pass up. 

What do you do when it's too cold to go outside?

We've been inside for 2 days.  I enjoyed the extended weekend and was happy to have time to create.

Saturday Sweets- Can we have some on Sunday, too?

I'm linking up with Saturday Sweets with A Classroom Full of Smiles.

 

My students love math stations!  I think it's one of their favorite parts of the day because they can move around and chit chat a lot more. I also try to find a way to incorporate drawing/coloring into many of the activities.  My artists love this! 

This week we were working on multiplying by 3 and we used one of my freebies in my store. 

You can find it here:  Multiplying x3

  

It has taken a day to complete each part.  They like to chit chat while coloring, so it slows them down. This week we will finish the last part of this project with this activity. Click on the picture.

 

What are some ways that your students practice multiplication?  

Multiplication x4 Freebie

My students really enjoyed my  Multiplication x3 Freebie, so I made another one for them.  Click on the link below if you'd like to download it.

How to Build a Snowman

Last week we worked on procedural writing.  Today they made adorable snowmen. We had some angry snowmen, a Hawaiian snowman, and even one with high heels.

Welcome to Create Learn Explore!

Welcome!  I've decided to join the world of  blogging to share ideas and learn new ones.  My name is Nancy and this is my 21st year teaching, and 20th in 3rd grade.  I love this age! They are still eager to learn and a lot of fun, yet more independent. 

I enjoy creating activities for my students and watching them learn and explore. I hope to take new ideas into the classroom for them through sharing with others. 

A teacher's work is never finished, even on snow days.  What did you create today? My students are working on learning their multiplication facts, so I created a little cut and paste practice for them.  You can pick this up for free at my store by following the link below.
