YEAH!!!! for "beach day!"

We are all ready for summer fun. We even had the smell of suntan lotion in our room today.

 

Today is "Silly Sock" day for Reading Month! We had lots of kids wear their silly socks. It is always fun to do something new and different in class.

Today is "dress as your favorite character from a book" day. In third grade we have characters from "Pony Pals, Ivy from Hold Your Horses, Helen Keller and the Wicked Witch."

My students want me to post a picture of everyone's favorite pens. The brand is Uni-ball. They have the word "Vision" and "fine" on them.

Parent-teacher conferences are scheduled for March 26th from 3:30-6:30p.m. We will again be scheduling 15 minute blocks of time to meet with teachers. Please contact your child's teacher to schedule your conference time.

The kids made "paperbag books" today in school. They did a great job! The paperbags were folded in half and bound together. A ribbon was attached to tagboard that was cut to fit inside the bags. The kids will write a story on the tagboard pieces and draw pictures on the pages of the bags.

Yea! for reading month!!

As part of our reading month "March Madness" we will be making books March 12th. This is an example of the "paperbag book" that we will put together in third grade. I know the students willl love this activity.

Keep North Dakota Clean posters have had corrections made to the word "Reduce" :)

Keep North Dakota Clean

Third grade took part in the "Keep North Dakota Clean" contest recently. The statewide theme for third grade is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." The kids all did a fantastic job on their posters and really took their time to be very neat. I am very proud of their hard work.
Caylee Walth is our first place winner, Lauren Fandrich won second place and Savanna Bader won third place.
Caylee's poster will be sent to the state level for judging with all the local winners in the state.
GOOD LUCK Caylee!!!!

MARCH IS READING MONTH!!!!

March Madness is upon us and we will be reading like "mad" this month. Third grade students are required to read 100 minutes a week outside of school during the month of March. Please help your child reach his/her goal by setting time aside each day for them to read in a quiet place.
