We had a GREAT day. It was warm and clear--maybe a bit hot by lunch time. The excitement was high. This is the first track meet in which the students have participated. Last year of course we could not hold the event. We arrived about 9:30 and found a spot on the bleachers. Then everyone who was doing the soft ball through or long jump took off to their event location. Not long after, the first event 50 meter girls was called. Then the boys 50 meter. It was exciting to see all the fast runners. The 100 meter was next. Then the 400 Meter.

This week 3rd grade had the privilege of having Scales & Tails come and do a special presentation on all kinds of different animals! Including a snapping turtle, a caiman alligator, and a giant 10 foot long python snake. The kids loved every second of the presentation and we couldn't be more grateful for the learning opportunity Scales & Tails provided for our 3rd grade students!  

In 3rd Grade, we put our skills to the test to see if we could keep an egg from breaking when it was dropped from the roof. We had a limited amount of supplies, but we came up with some pretty ingenious designs. Many of our eggs survived the long drop, while some needed a little more reinforcement. All in all we had so much fun creating our designs and have some great ideas for the next time we decide to drop an egg off the roof.

Students in Mrs. Kadish's class practiced sight words in a fun way. They wrote sight words on their desks and then walked around while they listened to music. When the music stopped, they sat down and read the word on their table. The students loved it!
