Happy Veterans' Day!

On November 11, we had a very special guest, Dylan's granddad, Mr. Hildebrand, come in and speak to the 3rd graders about his life experiences. He was a Vietnam veteran, spent 21 years in the military, and was a truck driver for 27 years. It was VERY interesting to learn about someone else's life and to hear his words of advice.

Thank you, Mr. Hildebrand, for taking the time to talk to us and for preparing a WONDERFUL history lesson!

Happy Grandparents' Day! (for 3rd grade anyway)

On November 7, we had our annual Grandparents' Day. However, this year, we did something different. The students learned more about their grandparents by completing a "compare and contrast" booklet together. They discussed prices of items from then and now.

They also compared and contrasted things about themselves such as chores, favorite TV show, what they wanted/want to be when they grow up, etc.

We had A LOT of fun and learned some interesting things about our grandparents as well. 

After finishing our booklets, we got to read with our grandparents and show them how we take AR quizzes.  Finally, we got to eat lunch with them. Yum!
