Trying Something New:)

Mrs. Pfeiffer wanted to try something new, so she decided to have us read a story online ("Boom Town") and answer questions based on that story.  It was the first time that we had to use the computer to listen/read a story by video and pause or stop it when we needed to.  It was a good lesson on listening well the first time, paying attention the entire time, and going back and finding our answers using a digital resource.  It was a challenge, but we were up to it.  :)

IT'S "LUNCH BUNCH" TIME!!! YAHOO!!! :)

We LOVE "Lunch Bunch" time!  This is a reward that each student can earn monthly.  If you don't have three or more strikes during that month, then you get to participate in our "Lunch Bunch."  We get to carry our lunches to our classroom and watch a movie while we eat.  WE LOVE IT!!!!  :)

Happy Halloween! (Sorry for the Delay)

We had A LOT of fun at our annual Halloween Parade and party!  This is us as we are posing "in character."  :)

This was one of our games that we played during our Halloween party.  It was called "Spider Web."  Boy, we were just glad that we didn't have to untangle that web!  :)

"Kids on the Block" Came to 3rd Grade!

"Kids on the Block" came to the third grade classrooms to talk to us about how we should treat people who may be different than us.  This is a very special program that uses puppets to teach students about tolerance.

"Viewing a Kids on the Block performance is an unforgettable educational experience. The "kids" vividly and effectively model relationships between people, both with and without disabilities, by using frank and often humorous communication of facts and feeling between the puppet characters and the audience." 

-- quote from "Kids on the Block" website

Our students loved the puppets!  They enjoyed learning about each and every one of them, differences and similarities.  They also liked being able to ask them questions about their disabilities.  

Stoplight Math

In Math, we have been adding three 2 and 3 digit numbers together. We pulled out two or three numbers and put them on a red, yellow, and green "light." Then we added them up. 

Bookmobile Visits WTPE!

Every month, the Paulding County Bookmobile will be visiting Payne Elementary. We LOVE going inside and seeing what kinds of books they have!

Thank you for letting us borrow some AWESOME books!

3A's Expressive Pumpkin Art

This week, we had fun painting pumpkins with very expressive faces. 

We don't know which was more fun: painting the pictures or "making the pumpkins talk." :)
