Mothers' Day Card & Art

We worked hard on writing a poem and creating flower art for our moms this week. My students loved making the personalized flowers for their moms in this project!

Disappearing Peeps!

Welcome!! We are experimenting on the effects of various liquids on Peeps! We are testing water, vinegar, apple juice, soda, and laundry detergent. The students are recording the changes they see each day.

Day One

Day Two

almost completely gone!

Valentine's Buckets & Teacher Gifts

My students decorated large cans (recycled from our cafeteria!) to hold their Valentines. They loved adding their own personal touch to them and lots of stickers didn't hurt either!

Our third grade team gave the students glow bracelets for Valentine's Day. I really like to trend of not always giving candy out with the cards.

100th Day of School

We celebrated the 100th Day of School with some 100 second challenges. The students estimated how many times they would be able to _______ in 100 seconds. Then they were timed to see if their estimates were close. The activities they participated in there: write your name, stand up and sit down, blink, jump up and down, say the alphabet, and count to ten. They were LOVING this celebration!

Gifts from Students

I am so blessed to receive gifts from my students!

Grinchy Christmas

Our class got into the Christmas spirit by watching The Grinch.

Afterwards, we created Christmas wreaths. The students wrote on the hearts things that are special to them and make them smile. Things that would help make their heart "grow three times its size"!

 We decorated stockings with the Grinch on them as well!

Santa's Stuck - Let's Help!

Last week, we wrote our rough drafts of Santa's Stuck. We read (most of) Santa's Stuck and each student came up with their own ending as if Santa were stuck at their house.

After the students had their basic idea down, I wrote my own rough draft (I didn't want anyone stealing my idea!). Then, we worked together as a group to add some pizazz to it with descriptive words and vibrant verbs. They were great! Then, the students did what we did together to their own paper. They worked with a peer to revise and edit.

Here are our final drafts:
