Thankful Turkeys.... on the Green Screen!

Today, the third graders has a short day. We used some of that time to read about the first thanksgiving and answer questions. We also made turkeys and wrote about all of the many things we are thankful for. When they were completed, the kiddos used their technology skills to upload their thankful turkeys onto a green screen backdrop. They turned out amazing! 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

PJ Day Tomorrow!

Tuesday, November 22nd: Comfy Day! The 3rd Graders in our class filled their compliment jar and won a reward! They chose a "comfy day." Please allow your child to wear his or her pajamas to school. (Remember to provide additional layers for recess depending on the weather.) Students can also bring in board games to share. 

7th Grade Books on Cells

Last week, we had the opportunity to read and review books that 7th grade science students from Bay View put together about Cells. The third graders had a blast reading their hard work and sharing their thoughts about the books on the review sheets. Thank you, Bay View students! 

Thank You, Mr. Perra!

Last Wednesday, Mr. Perra, a Suamico 3rd Grade parent and local police officer, came in to talk to the entire third grade about his job protecting our community. This tied in perfectly as a way to wrap up our citizenship unit!  We sure did learn a lot and appreciated him taking the time to come in and talk with us! 

Thank you, Mr. Perra! 

We had to get in a class photo... and a silly one, too!

Tech Day

Today was our Third Grade Tech Day! The kiddos had so much fun learning about five different technology tools. Throughout the day, they rotated between learning about Dash & Dot with me, Stick Bots with Mr. Welnetz, Stick Around with Mrs. White, Explain Everything with Mr. Jiskra and Book Creator with Mrs. Arndt. 

After 2nd recess, the third graders all met in the library to show off what they learned with the tool of their choice. I was only able to get pictures of Dash and Dot because that is the station I was holding in our classroom. Enjoy!
