3A's Christmas Party :)

On December 21, 3A had their annual Christmas Party.  We exchanged gifts, played "Jenga" (life-size) and "Win, Lose, or Draw," and ate lots of yummy snacks.  It was a great party!  :)

Christmas Around the World

3A has been working very hard on their "Christmas Around the World" projects.  They had to pick a  country that they wanted to learn more about.  Then  they completed the research packet by looking up and answering various questions about how people in that country celebrates Christmas and/or other winter holidays.  Next, they dressed their gingerbread person in the traditional way of that country and completed the sheets that are pictured below.  Finally, we will be completing our Google  Slide shows showing what we learned about our countries.  :)

Merry Christmas!!!!

We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!  Below are pictures from our Christmas Program last week.  Enjoy!

Verbs, Verbs, Verbs!

In Language, we have been identifying action verbs.  So, we thought it'd be fun to make "Verb Collages."  We searched for action verbs in magazines, cut them out, and glued them on a paper to form the word "verb."

Here are our finished collages:

Extra Recess AND 74 Degrees in November?! No Way!!!! :)

3A earned their "Class Dojo Class Reward: Extra Recess" on one of the best days of the entire year!  It was November and 74 degrees out!  How awesome was that?!  :)  Plus it's extra time that we can spend on our SUPER AWESOME updated playground.  :)

Happy Veterans' Day!

Every year, the third graders honor our veterans by performing a Veterans' Day program.  Mr. O'Donnell did a WONDERFUL job with our third graders this year!  Congratulations go out to him for all the work that he put into the program and to the third graders for doing such a great job! Thank you also goes out to Mr. Ogle for the fabulous patriotic artwork! :) But, most importantly, thank you goes out to all our veterans who have sacrificed everything in the name of freedom.  :)

Honoring each branch of the Armed Forces
