January 20 - 23

It is great to be back after a nice winter break. I hope you all enjoyed the time you had with your children. This is going to be a busy week for the third graders. It always seems like the short weeks are the busiest. We will not be doing a spelling test this week because of the NWEA testing. The students will have extra time to practice and will take their next test on the 30th.

December's News

The month of December has been a bit busy for the students and myself. The students had a great Christmas concert and have been busy making gifts for their parents as well as trying to fit in all the regular subjects that we do everyday. We will be going to a play put on by Ms. Hagen's class, a storybook reader, and making snowmen for the front showcase next week. We will also be having our Christmas party next Tuesday. The students can bring in board games if they have one they want to share.
 Our next spelling test will be on January 9th.

I didn't include pictures this time because my camera does not seem to be working. Hopefully I can get this working for January.
Have a safe and relaxing break!

Week 12

In our science class we studied our soil. We determined if our soil was sandy, loam, or clay.


  Mrs. Haglin came and did a virtual fieldtrip to the Ozarks on the Ipads. This was a great experience for the students!

Week 10 & 11

Students learned about the Battle of the Books. Over half of the class is signed up at this time. Way to Go Third Graders!!

The River City Readers came and shared some stories with the students. It is always great to see people of all ages excited to share their love of reading!


We had a Club's Choice presentation this week. This is the one big fundraiser we do each year. The money we earn goes to add extra things to our school and playground. Thanks for supporting this fundraiser.

Week 8 & 9

We had a fun Halloween party with treats, costumes, and musical chairs.







The students finished their unit on electricity creating flashlights from a paper tube, wire, light bulb,masking tape, and a cell. They were amazed to see their flashlights light up. They now understand an open and closed circuit.




The boys dressed in their costumes.

The third graders also had vision and hearing screening last week. We also celebrated Unity Day by wearing orange.
