“Don’t you worry about me. I’ll always come out on top.”- Pippi Longstocking

A classic and always a favorite in 3rd grade, we completed the adventurous novel study, Pippi Longstocking. Pippi has crazy red pigtails, no parents to tell her what to do, a horse that lives on her porch, and a pet monkey named Mr. Nilsson. Whether Pippi’s scrubbing her floors, doing arithmetic, or stirring things up at a fancy tea party, her flair for the outrageous always seems to lead to another adventure.

Our class celebrated the completion of our study by wearing “Longstockings” to school! We also compared the similarities and differences between the book and classic movie!

Eating Our Way Through Math

Learning how to analyze and interpret data from graphs was a fun change up in our math curriculum! In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, we used a family size box of Lucky Charms to count the amount of each type of marshmallow. Then we created a bar graph to show the quantity of each. Who knew nearly 300 delicious marshmallows can be found in 1 box of cereal!?

The marshmallow that we found the most of was the “horseshoe” and the least amount was the rainbow”!
