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!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

On Friday, we had our annual Halloween Parade and Party. We ate some treats and played "Wrap the Mummy," "Toss the Eyeballs," and Bingo. We want to thank everyone who brought in treats and Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Bland, Mrs. Wobler, and Mrs. Wenzlick for planning the party and helping out. We had A LOT of fun!

Welcome "The Kids on the Block"

Last Tuesday, "The Kids on the Block" came to our school and performed a puppet show for just the third grade. Each puppet was based on a REAL kid with a real disability. Their message was that even though people can be different on the outside, we are all the same on the inside. 

Fall OAA Reading Test Done!

Now that the Fall OAA Reading test is done, we can finally relax and have some fun:) So we painted a picture of overlapping pumpkins using watercolors. 

Here are our finished "masterpieces!" :)
