After caroling the week before Christmas, the students went to the nursing home to sing the songs from the Elementary Christmas concert.

While learning about changes over time, Luke brought a phone that was used a very long time ago. The students enjoyed trying it out. What a big change to the cell phones of today.

 

 

Valentine's Day in third grade. We have a group of very creative students. We shared valentines and watched a movie.

Rykan showing off his book.

Students sharing the books they wrote.

Students are shown with their books; authored by themselves and illustrated by a classmate. After reading our story "What Do Illustrators Do?" Students wrote a fictional story. We then randomly drew the name of a student who would illustrate the book cover. The authors had to allow the illustrator full artistic freedom which is often how books are illustrated in the publishing world. I'm so proud of the work they did.
