Week 3

 We had our first Storybook Reader this week. Marie Mavencamp is a volunteer Storybook Reader and does a wonderful job reading to our students. Ask your child who Molly Lou Melon is. 
 We finished our first art project and displayed them above our locker. Stop in and see your child's art work. The theme for this project is titled - Remember... What's different about You can also be what is GREAT about You!

 We spent two mornings working on our reading and math NWEA's. The students tried hard. 

 Friday Fun!! The students earn 20 minutes on Friday afternoon if they practice their Irish Pride during the week. They also won the Golden Dust Pan for having the cleanest classroom in the primary hall.

 Friday our third graders started technology.









 
 We also talked with Officer Fox, Mrs. Harlan and Mrs. Weninger about rules and things we need to know from our handbook.







Another first was having art taught by our helper Mrs. Haglin. She is volunteering to help us teach our third grade art.

1st Day of School

Our first day of third grade was great! We explored our classroom and talked about Irish Pride - Being Respectful, Ready, and Responsible.



A highlight of our day was helping to prepare the school garden. Our job was to help fill the new raised gardens. We learned that the rain from the weekend compacted our soil which made it a bit hard to work with but still had fun and we will try again later this week.
