Beautification Day

Dear Third Graders,

     This week was full of learning and fun! We had gorgeous weather for our beautification day celebration. We started out by helping plant flowers in the front of the school. We then painted Kindness Rocks, learned about pollinators, as well as bird calls.

    Check out the really cool one and a half minute video Rosemary's mom put together!

Here are some pictures from the day!

We are very lucky to have an amazing PTO and parent volunteers.  If you have not signed up for the buzzables (click here), please do so you are aware of all the amazing things happening at Rosendale. I also encourage you to be an active participant in our PTO!

China Day

Dear Third Graders,

       Wow!  We had an exciting day full of learning, food tasting, crafts, and celebration.  Emma's mom came in and taught us more about China. She shared about growing up in Beijing. She also shared how America and China are alike and different.  Next, she taught us how to use chopsticks! Most of you are light years away from me! Emma's mom also brought a HUGE assortment of foods to try along with a few of our friends. I was impressed how everyone tried most of the foods! Delicious!

 Chopstick game! 

Yummy!

Outfits and artifacts!  (Somehow I missed the gorgeous pillow my one friend brought in!  Kodak moment fail.


He made the Chinese Flag on his shirt and even looks like he should be performing in the Chinese Opera house!

Career Day

Dear Third Graders,

      I was sad to miss out on Career Day this year, but our guest teacher was able to get some great pictures of our friends in costume!  We even had a spy show up on Monday, after missing Friday due to illness.  I was impressed with all your choices and outfits!  I was also very proud of the amazing report we got back from our guest teacher. Sounds like you had a wonderful day!

Earlier last week, we had our ELA Dance Party for all the hard work we have done this year! We also celebrated a friend's birthday!

Dear Third Graders,

     I couldn't be more proud of what a wonderful job you did trying your best and persevering during our state testing. We enjoyed a nice treat sent in by Jack's mom!  We also had some extra mints curtesy of Chase.
