Week 1

 Oh my gosh, we had such a fun few days together. Here are some snapshots of us playing and learning. 










Here are some poems the kids wrote, based on a book we read entitled “The Important Book” by Margaret  Wise Brown. The poems are called “The Important Thing About Me”. See if you can find your child’s.

All is going well in THIRD Grade! So far we are just continuing to get to know each other, as well as the rules and routines of the classroom. We are doing everything we can to be safe with one another, respectful of people's feelings and responsible for ourselves.

Hello Families!  I’m testing out a new way to keep you in the loop. My blog!  Our current science and literacy theme has us studying landforms. I asked the kids to build an island out of salt dough. They had to include three high land forms and three bodies of water. They had to make it look realistic. Here, they are using realistic colors to paint their islands! Every Tuesday for STEAM, we have a building challenge. Last week, we our challenge was to design and build a haunted house.  This last group of pictures is of students modeling how erosion makes rocks break down over time and can end up as pebbles on a beach!
