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.

Week 6 & 7

 A third grade student did a science experiment at home and shared it with us. This is Alan making Gak.



  We are studying electricity. The students were given a wire, a bulb and a battery. They had to try many different ways to light the light bulb. So Fun!

The students are reading Time For Kids. This is a magazine we read and learn about current events.


Wright Hennepin Cooperative Electric came and demonstrated where electricity comes from. They also demonstrated what we need to do to be safe when we are around electricity.

Week 4 & 5


 We learned about bus safety last week. The students  enjoyed practicing for an emergency exit.
We did a science experiment and learned about expanding and contracting. They had to make a booklet and explain what happened during the experiment.

After the first month of school, the students are excited to start reading chapter books.  They select two chapter books and add them to their book boxes.

Our first art project is displayed in the front entrance. Stop by and check out our artists.
