Announcements
Thank you to everyone that donated to our class basket for the Comet Carnival! A special thanks to Emily Surapaneni for putting it together and making it look amazing!
Thursday, October 9th, is an early release at 12:50. Please let me know if your 3rd grader is going home a different way than usual. Friday, October 10th, is a teacher workday. There will be no school for students.
Last week, students completed their first Tinker Time with Mrs. Hanson. Students get to choose an activity that promotes problem solving, creativity, and cooperation. They were all very successful!
Our first field trip of the year was wonderful! Students were able to experience four different stations at the Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture. We tried lots of new vegetables and fruits in the gardens, ate every part of a plant, fed the chickens, and of course played on the playground!
The highlight for most students these past two weeks has been our special class visitors to help us understand life cycles. We were able to watch chick eggs incubate from days 15-21 of their hatching period.
We were even able to catch one hatching and sing Happy Birthday to it!
Finally, we spent lots of time reading to our chicks, looking at their adaptations, and snuggling.
