Pumpkin Painting

My father-in-law donated 60 pumpkins to our grade level for the students. We decided to paint the pumpkins to make them more festive. This was, obviously, the safety-first decision :)

May I Be Frank? Our Class Made Frankensteins

We are getting into the Halloween spirit in art with Frankenstein as our inspiration. The students were given orange, green, black, white, and red paper. They created their Frankenstein head/neck and got creative in making their monster however they wanted.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

The parents are coming! The parents are coming!

Here are some resources to help you with Parent Teacher Conferences. They are available on my TpT site. There are four pages:

• Students Self-Reflection: students grade themselves on their performance thus far in the school year
• Homework for Parents: students just LOVE to take this home to give their parents some homework; this document asks parents questions about their child and the school year; it will help you as you prepare for individual parent conferences
• Student Reflection: a second student reflection, perhaps for older students or for spring conferences
• Students Grade the Teacher: students grade you, the teacher

Monster Week

At the end of year quarter, third graders take Quarter Tests (QTs). These tests assessment them over what they have learned during the quarter as well as preparing them for state assessments in the spring. Because of these tests, our schedule changes a bit. We are on a flex/break week for our StoryTown reading curriculum. So our third grade team decided to infuse a little more fun into reading and math! Welcome to our MONSTER WEEK!

Here are the resources I used from TpT freebies:

• Monster in a Jar writing
• 
  
 
 

•  Monster Story Graphic Organizer

• 
  
• "I Need My Monster" Writing activity
•
