American Symbol Gallery Walk

After reading about the Statue of Liberty in language arts, the third graders have been researching it and other American symbols in social studies.  Working with partners, the third graders have researched Mt. Rushmore, the Star Spangled Banner, the Pledge of Allegiance, the White House, Ellis Island, the American flag, the Washington Monument, the bald eagle, and of course, the Statue of Liberty.  Then they created posters showcasing their research.  On Friday afternoon, we held a Gallery Walk with Mrs. Reese's class so that all of the students could share and explore all of these important symbols.

Friday Lunch with Friends!

The third graders surpassed their Brownie Point goal this week...by 10 points! The reward they chose was a fun lunch together in our classroom.

Charlotte's Web

Yesterday the third graders attended the afternoon matinee performance of the Middle School play, "Charlotte's Web".  There's still time to check it out....another performance will be tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the little gym.  It was fun!

Hunting for Eggs!

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter and a fun, relaxing spring break!  Here are a few photos of our Easter egg hunt this afternoon!  What a fun, busy day!

Petting Zoo Fun!

Today we visited the FFA Petting Zoo!  We attended 2 education stations and learned about soybeans, corn, oats, wheat, and different kinds of plants.  We also got to spend some time with horses, cows and calves, goats, pigs, a peacock, bunnies, ducks and ducklings, a goose, sheep and lambs, chickens and chicks.  Then, the best part, ice cream!!!  Thanks to the FFA for this fun experience!

Beautiful Day = Extra Recess Time!

Way back last fall the third grade classes brought in more canned goods for the Servant Leadership Drive than any other class.  Our reward was an extra recess.  Well...we've waited all winter for a nice day, and finally we got it!  Here we are getting ready to play kickball with Mrs. Reese's class.

Loving our New Classroom Computers!

Since our computer lab received all new computers last week, we were lucky enough to receive two new-to-us computers for our classroom!  YAY!
