Every month we have birthday lunch with Mrs. Thorne.

GR, TS, and CF had birthdays in September.

Reminder, tomorrow is Picture Day and the Snack Food Sale.

Here we are with Mrs. Thorne.

She came to tell us about her job and to learn about us.

MC published a new post to his kidblog today.

We hope you are all checking out our kidblogs.

We love the comments you leave.

CK and GP are making a good reading choice during reading time.

They were listening to a story on the i touch.

TP is writing a really long story about Henry and Mudge.

We can't wait to hear it. He might even publish it.

This Friday we are having a snack food sale. Bring $.50 - $1.00 to get a yummy, delicious treat.

We learned about compound words today and then we made a video of our compound words on Videolicious (i touch app).

Today we went to the computer lab for the first time this year. We did IXL math. IXL math is a subscription through McKay that lets us do all kinds of math skills. We can do it at home too. It was fantastic!

We made giant ice cream cones for art this week. They have sprinkles and a cherry on top.
They are so neat that you might want to frame them. If so, you can buy a frame that is 18x24 inches and it will fit perfectly.

We are enjoying the comments that everyone is leaving.

Thank you for looking at our blog.

Today was our first Library check out.

We can have up to two books and have them for a week.

In our reading group we were playing a reading game to learn new vocabulary.



In Walking Club, CK went around the track 3 times in ONE (10 min) recess today. Wow!
Walking Club is when you walk around the track and a grownup punches a hole in a card each time we go around the track.

Today we got to use the i touches to practice our math. We used the app Balloon Pop. We practiced our addition and multiplication facts. When we see the right answer, we pop the balloon. It was awesome.

We learned how to do a Sketch & Jot today when we listened to the story Brave Norman.

We learned how to write a summary.

We had our first Back to School Assembly today with Bucky and Mrs. Sheard got branded.

She is now a true MmmmmmUSTANG. Mrs. Sheard is our college student teacher.

It is ok to go on www.raz-kids.com

Library & Art

These are some of our self portraits we want you to see.

We painted over our crayon coloring but careful not to go over our face.

We learned about the library rules today with Mrs. Naughton.

We will get to use the computers during library to read, write, math or to take AR tests.

Working With Technology

Our first time using expressions, it was fun!

Expressions are like remotes that you can use to put your answer in math, reading, or spelling.

We are on the computers doing reading on www.raz-kids.com

Beginning a New Year

KVL is happy because she won Flip It.

Flip it is a card game that we would like to play at home with you.

Third graders waiting to come inside after recess.
Flip it is fun!
Check back next week to see our artwork that we made today.
Have a great weekend.
