Happy Thanksgiving!

We have had a lot of fun activities these past couple of weeks in class! One of the highlights was beginning our unit on bones and joints. The students loved trying to count their own bones and assembling "Mr. Bones". They were shocked to find that teeth aren't actually bones!

Another fun activity we completed was an "I'm Thankful For..." turkey writing activity. The fun part was that kids had to draw for their topic. Some examples were: fire drills, baby wipes, and paper. They loved this creativity activity reminding them to be thankful for the small things in life! 

Oh, and don't forget - no school all of next week! Happy a very happy Thanksgiving! 

Can you believe it's November?

  We have had a great couple of weeks here in third grade!  Students have been reading about inventors and how sports engineering has helped aid athletes in their various sports! One of their favorite books that they have read was about brilliantly ridiculous inventions. To have more fun with the topics, students created their own ridiculous inventions! They had to create a unique name, a slogan, a short description, price, and illustration for their inventions.

  The students had a blast last week using pumpkins for math. Thank you to each of you who volunteered to help by attending and/or bringing in a pumpkin! 

  Don't forget that we won't have school next Wednesday due to Veterans' Day!
