Collaboration

Dear Third Graders,

By combining Jo's art skills with Melia's science skills,
they could create MORE super-cool stuff together
than either could create alone.

   Today, we worked together to create our severe storm boards! It took a lot of compromising, hard work, and creative thinking.  We are looking forward to presenting on Wednesday!






Here are some other shots from this month...

Thankful

Dear Third Graders,

       I can't say it enough, I am thankful to be working with an incredible group of third graders! In addition, the parents and adults at our school work so hard to bring wonderful programs and events that make Rosendale a pretty special place.

    Here are some pictures from our assembly last week...





    We also had Mrs. Schwan's first graders join our class for our publishing party! We have been working hard on writing paragraphs with topic sentences and details. We have made these paragraphs strong by adding transitions, interesting words, hooks, thinking, talking, sounds, and more!  This unit will help us create informational paragraphs from research notes that we take on various topics, culminating in our Weather Presentations! 





    Lastly, we had another challenge where we had to stack cups... without touching the cups with any body part! Boy did we have to work together, communicate, and encourage one another! 





Bear Hugs,
