Reading Suberbowl Update

We are having a close race among all of the third grade classes. The competition ends February 1st, and we will find out which class will be the 2013 Superbowl Champions!!! This is also the day that we will have our tailgate party. Only the students who have made (at least) 4 touchdowns will get to attend the tailgate, so keep reading.

It's a New School Year!

The school year is off to a great start! I have enjoyed meeting and learning about each one of my new students, and would like to thank their parents for sharing them with me:) We are going to have a wonderful year!

The Reading Super Bowl ends on Friday, February 3, 2012! Each child must make 4 touchdowns to attend the Super Bowl Party.

Book Project

Pumpkin season is here and we have a fun project coming up! The Pumpkin Book Project is a book report that your child needs to complete at home. Students need to complete the following directions:

1. Choose a book for your book report. The book can be a library book or one you have at home.
2. Read your book or have an adult read your book to you.
3. Complete the title page and story map.
4. Choose a character from the book you read and decorate a pumpkin to look like your character. Use the “pumpkin project blueprint” to sketch out ideas and make a list of supplies that you will need. You do not need to return the blueprint to school. It is recommended that you use a foam pumpkin as the real ones do not last very long. Foam pumpkins can be found at most craft stores. You will find sample pumpkins at the back of this packet. Below is a list of supplies others have used in the past. You may find it useful for generating ideas.

paint
googly eyes
yarn
felt
feathers
glitter
construction paper
pipe cleaners
fur
fabric
buttons
glue
markers
pom poms
wigs
cotton balls
stickers
props (glasses, crowns, jewelry, etc.)


Please bring a copy of the book to display with your completed project. Be creative and have fun! I can’t wait to see the results. Pumpkin book report projects are due Monday, October 24th and will be set up for parents to view during the Halloween party the following Monday.

Thank You,

On Friday March 12, 2010, our third grade proudly presented "I Love America". It was a patriotic presentation of songs, drama and art! They did a great job, and we are very proud of them. Thank you Mrs. DeSoto and Mrs. Moore for all of the hard work with our students.
