Draw an Array in Pixie

Today, we will use Pixie to create an array.  You will use animal stickers to make your array.  You should also include the classification of your animal (such as a mammal, reptile or fish).  Here is a sample below:

There are a few students that have not finished their animal trading cards.  Once you have finished the array, please open your animal trading card project so you can finish it today.

All others may go to Multiplication.com to practice multiplication facts.

5. After every colon (:), you must have 1 or 2 spaces and then a capital letter.

When you are finished (and an adult has checked your work for grammar and any misspellings), you may have free choice from the 3rd Grade Tech Blog.

Animal Research & Create Animal Trading Cards

You will need to choose two animals (make sure they are from two different classifications - mammals, fish, birds, insects, reptiles or amphibians), then do a bit of research about those animals.  Fill in the worksheet provided and then we will begin to create animal information cards with photos and facts about our animals!
