Annual Halloween Parade and Party

Last Friday, we had our annual Halloween Parade and Party.  We got to dress up in our Halloween costumes, walk in a parade in Payne with the rest of the school, and then came back and played games and ate some yummy snacks.  Thank you to Mrs. Whitman for planning the games and to everyone who brought in food and drinks.  :)

3A's Expressive Pumpkins

Since it is almost Halloween, we decided it was time to paint some pumpkins...not real ones, but soon they may seem real.  :)

Below are our pumpkin characters that we have created.  Our next step is to actually type up our very own creative writing stories starring our pumpkin characters.  We can't wait for you to see what we come up with.  :)  

Sandwich Paragraphs

In September, we really focused on identifying paragraphs, topic sentences, supporting details, and concluding sentences.  Then we wrote our own paragraphs about who our favorite cartoon character was and why. 

Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset

 At the beginning of the year, we talked about the "Power of Positive Thoughts" and the importance of having a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset.  As a class, we came up with more positive sayings to overcome our inner 'Negative Ninnies.'
