Field trip to the Bankhead museum
The third grade at West Jasper Elementary took a trip to the Bankhead museum in Jasper. We learned of many respected men and women who were native to Jasper. The students were given a tour of the Bankhead home and were introduced to many facts about the men who served in our military over the years.

Science research is cool!
This morning our students worked on research!! We took our iPads and research different insects around the world. The students had to classify and sort the insects by look, size, what they eat, etc. The students loved looking up and discovering these tiny creepy crawlers!!
Creating our own Main ideas
Yesterday we used our iPads to create stories. As an extension of learning main idea, we divided into groups of 2 and 3 and came up with our own characters and settings and plot. We discussed the main idea and shared our stories to the whole class. The class as a whole then guessed the "main idea"!!
Multiplication is fun!!
We have began our unit on Multiplication... We are using manipulatives to work on grouping and using objects to represent multiplication sentences.
