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

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,

I am not a Turkey...........

Our turkeys are well disguised. Thanks to so many great imaginations,

these turkeys will not be the main dish for Thanksgiving dinner.

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.

Reading Super Bowl

Our class read for 2,325 minutes in the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. Everyone earned a certificate of participation. THEY ALL DID A GREAT JOB! Emily and Cameron earned the MVP certificates for earning the most points for our team. Way to go Cameron and Emily. We celebrated with a tailgate party. We all enjoyed the tailgate goodies and a movie.

If we do not have school on Thursday or Friday, we will do "Raising Dragon" next week as well.

Holiday Family Night

Mrs. Lucier does such a great job planning this. We had so much fun. Listening to stories, drinking hot choclate, and eating cookies.... Life doesn't get any better!
