Each week, we will be highlighting the amazing and wonderful things that are happening in our classrooms and grade levels at St. Margaret of Scotland School. We are very proud of the work our teachers do with our students and are amazed by what happens at SMOS. Our goal is to share more about the hidden gem that is St. Margaret’s.

Exciting news from third-grade math! 

Our third graders have embarked on a colorful, hands-on journey into the world of fractions with Skittles, making learning both engaging and memorable! Each student starts with a packet of Skittles representing a whole. They then explore by dividing their Skittles into fractions based on specific colors. Additionally, they are using their prior knowledge by graphing their candy colors. 

Stay tuned for more sweet updates from third grade!
