Learning to round to the nearest tens and hundreds is a little bit tricky and little bit dry. Adding a dice game certainly improves enthusiasm!
IPC Brain Research
Students were highly focused when researching how to keep brains healthy. It can be a lot of fun to dive into expository books and articles. The brain is pretty cool! 🧠
3G reflected on the importance of elders in their lives with Mrs. Fishburn during Religious Studies. Students were in touch with their crafty side while making these flowers.
In our IPC Brainwave unit, students are learning about the mysteries of the brain. We practiced making connections in our thinking with a hands-on activity connecting each other with string, forming a network of “neurons” becoming stronger and stronger.
3G visited the Mac Lab for the first time this week. We took the opportunity to explore the new Wonders program online. Our Language Arts curriculum has some great resources and activities available for students from home or at school.
Our first Scholastic Book Club is now open until October 3rd. You can browse and purchase books through the button below. Select “Mr. Geyer 3G” during checkout to have your books delivered directly to school with free shipping.
This week 3G embarked on their first IPC mini-unit Brainwave. Students are learning about the brain and how humans learn in order to maximize metacognitive abilities. Sounds like a superhero super power! 💥
Earlier in the week, we went on a detective search through the school to find evidence of learning. Then, the class split up into small teams to think carefully about what it really means. The class is now working on some definitions of the terms knowledge, skills, and understanding. We will use these definitions to navigate our studies throughout the school year.
The new school year is about to begin. I have been working hard to set up the classroom and prepare for new students. I will do my best to post regular blog updates here on 3G’s exciting learning experiences throughout the 2025-26 academic year. Thank you for your ongoing support of our students!
