What is a Chemical Change?

Today the third grade students presented their Christmas program to parents and students. The fourth grade students enjoyed seeing the third graders perform the same songs that they had performed themselves last year. The third graders did a very nice job.

Today we...
...took a math test.
...completed our reading tests on The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
...edited a spelling list.
...practiced action and linking verbs.
...finished reading Frindle.

Tomorrow we will...
...work through 6 different experiments and determine whether the changes are chemical or physical.
...continue with multiplication.
...finish our reading packets.
...eat lunch earlier because of third grade Grandparents' Day.

Are you and your child having trouble with multiplication? Try this site on lattice multiplication. It's not the way I learned multiplication, but sometimes it's easier for those who "don't get" traditional math.
