Marble Jar Reward

Miss Pavlicek brought our classroom pet, GusGus, the hamster. The students filled their Marble Jar and voted on a pet as their prize. This week we have a hamster visiting us and next week it will be gerbils. It is so exciting. Congratulations on a job well done third graders!

Turkey Trot

The third graders ran hard for Turkey Trot today. What a great way to start the long weekend. I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for all that you do to support us!

Dictionaries

Thank you to the Rotary Club for our new dictionaries.

Making Flashlights with Mr. Musselman

The kids had a great time learning about the engineering behind a flashlight. This will roll nicely into our upcoming unit on Light in Science. 

Plimoth Plantation

What a great day at Plimoth Plantation. The kids had a blast and filled their Research Journals with lots of facts. They were able to visit the Wampanoag Site, the Pilgrim Village, and the Mayflower.

Static Electricity

Students tested materials to see what created Static Electricity. They discovered that a static charge is created when two non conductors are rubbed together.

Ipad Time

Yeah....Third Graders were assigned their individual Ipads today.  They will get to use their Ipads for all areas of the curriculum throughout the school year.  Mrs. Weldon came into class to discuss the appropriate use of Ipads and the children each signed an agreement to follow those rules.

First Day

Welcome Back!  I was so happy to see all my new students today.  We had a great first day!  Students came home today with their backpack folders.  There are many important notices that need to be filled out as soon as possible.  Please check back often, as new things are always posted to it.  If you have any questions or need to contact me, don't hesitate.  I look forward to a wonderful year together!!!
