Week of November 18 - 22, 2019



Library Time
One of our favorite times of the week is visiting the library.  Third Graders love all the new books Mrs. Clay has on the shelves.  It's a great time to just relax and get lost in a book.

      

       
    




This week's "Character Counts" students are  Zora and Juliana.  They exhibited the qualities of respect, perseverance, and honesty.  Zora choose the "Bring a Fuzzy Friend" award.  





Juliana chose "Take Two" and was able to take two items off her seat work & homework list.  Congratulations, Girls!



Kamishibai Storytelling

After reading about the Japanese storytelling method of Kamishibai, Keith created his own Kamishibai story and shared it with the class.  His classmates enjoyed seeing his creative artwork and hearing his captivating storytelling.  





Fractions Fun

The Silverfish math group is learning about fractions.  It's always fun to be the teacher.  Here is the group sharing their own improper fractions with their classmates.

November 11 - 15, 2019

Smile.... Here's to the BEST Third Grade Class!!!


Go Noodle!!

Everyone needs a break, so the Third Grade uses the GoNoodle! website.  There are movement and mindfulness videos created by child development experts that allow the students to dance, meditate, and get out their wiggles so they can work hard in the classroom.  

    







      

    Learning About the Saints


In religion class last week, each student researched a Saint, then completed a paper, and created a prop to describe the Saint.  


    

    

    

    



Our friends, Joseph & Zayne, were our Character Trait winners this week.  Joseph chose, "Bring in a Fuzzy Friend" reward.  Here is is with his friend, Pikachu!

Zayne chose, "Take 2," so he got to take two assignments off his seat work list for the day.  Congratulations to both of you!

Walnut Street Theater Anti-Bullying Show


Students were entertained this week by performers from the Walnut Street Theater Outreach.  https://www.walnutstreettheatre.org/education/outreach-season-2019-2020.php
An anti-bullying show called, Bob, the Bully Buster was performed.  Students learned how to identify a bully and also what to do if they feel bullied.

Third Grade Planeteers

Earlier this week, the Third Grade completed their first Planeteers service project.  The students went on a "litter walk" and cleaned up around the HCA community.  Thanks to Miss Kathol for coming on the walk with us.  Check out this article on "Facts on Littering for Kids," https://classroom.synonym.com/facts-on-littering-for-kids-12564880.html
