Invasion from Mars

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on Thu, 10/29/2020 - 10:05

Each 4th grade class has been working hard learning a readers theater called,”Invasion from Mars.” It was fun to see the creativity of the students as they made props, practiced lines, and helped the play come together. Each 4th grade class invited a different 3rd grade class in to watch the play. The students had so much fun performing for other students. It was a rewarding experience and they already want to do another!

We had so much fun learning about China and Mexico for our 3rd Grade Culture Day this month! We love the opportunity we have to learn new things about other cultures.

Claudia Fisher and her friend Eliza taught us all about Mexico and the origin behind the “Day of the Dead” celebration. We loved learning about how they honor their ancestors and celebrate them during that holiday.

We are so proud of our students that have passed off their belt buckles so far and can’t wait for the rest to pass them off! 2nd grade is full of math superstars!

Musical Carnival

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on Thu, 10/22/2020 - 10:08

In Mrs. Blair's music class this week we have been learning about "Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint Saens. We have been playing  "carnival games" while listening to each movement in the piece of music.  From the slowed down version of the "can-can" for the tortoise (slowly stacking cups) to the wild donkey race (musical chairs), we had a great time learning and having fun.
