Fall days

We've had some great fall days!  The air is cool and crisp.  The sun is nice and warm.  What a better way to spend your days than hanging out with your friends.

Classroom News

Students have a lot of fun dancing to Rob Biagi songs.

We adopted guinea pigs!

Jonathan Adler Ceramics

Jonathan Adler was the inspiration for our ceramics project this year.  These containers make great vases, or candy holders.  This picture represents the bisque stage of ceramics.

Harvest Festival

Students are having a great time at Salem's Harvest Festival.  A swing ride was the new attraction.  Many students were disappointed that the bungee jump was gone.  Free snow cones were a big hit.  All the students looked great in their thoughtful costumes.

Life Lab

Let's get our hands dirty!  Students get to dig, water, explore, map, and so much more in the Life Lab.  We are growing daffodils and cat nip.  We can't wait to see the fruits of our labor!

Reading Buddies

Reading Buddies is a great way to learn social skills and make a new friend.  These students like to sit together, read a book and just chat about what they like to do.  Reading Buddies is the highlight of Third Grade.

Tackett Dog Training Center

Thanks to Mrs. Esser, we were given the opportunity to learn about dog training.  Meeting the dogs and watching them work was a big treat!  It also taught us that dogs need discipline and love to do a great job.

Animal Shelter Service Project

The Orange County Animal Shelter gave us a tour of their facility.  Students were happy to bring old towels and blankets for the cats and dogs.  Feeding the dogs was the highlight of the trip.
