Chick iMovies

Students loved having the chicks in our classroom! They had so much fun holding and playing with them. Since the chicks have been gone, we've been using some time in class to practice with the iMovie app, and the kids created a project to show tribute to our beloved chicks!

Recycled Project Museum!

Happy Friday!

Short post for today! We had our AWESOME recycled project museum this afternoon! The students were so creative with their projects, and we had so many supports come to see their work. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, and a huge thank you to the families and supporters at home who helped students with their creations. This is the first time that we have done this, but it may just become a 3rd grade tradition!!

Check out our "Earth Day" photo album for pictures from this afternoon!


Don't forget about Evening of the Arts tonight at 6:30. I hope to see you there!

Earth Day Adventures!

Happy Earth Day!!

Today, the third graders did a little community service in honor of Earth Day. We took a nature walk along the MKT trail in Columbia and did our part to make our Earth a better place to be! All students had a partner and a trash bag. As we walked along, we made sure to pick up as much trash as we could, and help clean up our community. It was a gorgeous day for the walk, and the students had a great time! To see some moments from our adventure, click the link below.

Earth Day Album

Students also did a writing and art activity in which they thought about what they could do to help the Earth. They each then took a picture with their "Lorax mustache" to add to their project. The Lorax photos are also in our Earth Day Album.

Opinion Writing

I'm finally getting our fabulous work shared out with you!

The class had been working so hard on their opinion writing pieces about how to make Grant School better. They took their work through the writing process and then had the opportunity to type their draft into Google Drive. From there, we learned about how to use a program on the the internet, called Tackk. Tackk allowed us to create some professional looking presentations for our writing! Feel free to click the link below and explore our Tackk page!!

Flashback Friday

Good morning, and what a productive Friday I'm having already!! :)

FINALLY, the wait is over. I have gotten the iMovie presentation created to give you a glimpse into the 3rd Grade Presidential Showcase. It may have happened a long time ago, but I didn't forget about it! I hope you enjoy this little flashback :)

Presidential Showcase

Have a great weekend!

The Day the Chickens Came to School...

What an awesome experience we had today!! We were lucky enough to have some guests visit our classroom and teach us about chickens! Mr. and Mrs. G did a wonderful job of presenting information and making our morning fun. They even let the chicks, hens, and roosters walk around and be held! Check out the photo album with pictures from our morning.

Chickens!


This made us even more excited for our own chicks to hatch next week! Only 4 more days!!
