“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…”

Learning about Germs
It is that time of the year when we keep hearing those coughs and sneezes. We have discovered some the ways people can get sick and good ways to prevent it. Hand Washing is the easiest and best way we can help ourselves! We used glitter on our hands to represent germs and then tried to remove them with various hand washing methods. We found that most of the germs were removed if we washed with soap and water while singing "Happy Birthday.' Stay healthy third grade!

Shrine Circus
What a great day! The show was packed with so many fun sights to see. Below are some pictures of the great things that we were able to enjoy at this year's Shrine Circus! After the circus we enjoy a great lunch on the bus and we even recieved coloring books and crayons from the Barnhart and Kitch families. Thank you all for a super experience!

Slime Party
Our class made a goal for their positive behavior in music class. They were able to meet that goal just before Christmas, so students voted to make slime. We were able to create our slime right away after returning from winter break.

Helping Santa
Our class worked on a seasonal design challenge just before winter break to help build a model sleigh for Santa. Everyone sketched out their ideas in their notebooks and then selected the materials that they needed to start construction. After building, we had some amazing sleighs ready for any type of need Santa might have. We even built our own Santa to put in the sleigh! Look at our amazing creations!

Indian Art-
Students spent time learning about the Pilgrims and Indians before Thanksgiving this year. We learned many new and surprising things. One of them was that America's first people had a deep respect for nature. They took pride in creating every day objects that reflected the beauty of things around them. Each person took time to create their own artifact complete with a museum display card to tell what their object was, how it was used, and which tribe would have been the creator. Magnificent Art!

Sound
Our class has been learning about sound. How is it made? How does it move? What changes it? Are a few questions that we have thought about as we have been learning. We ended our first section on sound by creating our own musical instruments. Here are some pictures of us along they way in this process!

Fair Oaks Dairy Farm
We had a great day at the Fair Oaks Dairy Farm. The weather was perfect and there was plenty to do. In fact, we had more to do than we had time to actually do it in. Sadly, we had to leave the farm just at the time a calf was being born, but we still were able to do many things. Our students loved the movie and bouncy pillow! Seeing the 72 cows being milked on the rotary milking machine is always amazing. Several cows were trying to sneak extra rides this year on it too! We also were treated to a trip to the apple orchard where every person was able to pick fresh Pixie Crunch apples. They were super sweet and crunchy! YEAH for COWS!
