Tasty Arrays

3rd graders learned how to make arrays using a very yummy ingredient - M&M's! They worked together to create various arrays to display multiplication problems. Then came the best part - eating their work!

Talented 3rd Graders

Our 3rd graders are a very talented bunch! Today we awarded the winners of the annual Disguise the Turkey contest. Students were asked to create a disguise for their turkey and we were amazed at the creativity we saw! Each participant received an award allowing them to skip their homework for a whole week! 1st place winners received a certificate and a Sonic gift card. 


Look at our turkeys! 44 of our students participated!

All of the turkeys are so creative!

Thankful Thoughts

It's November! Which means we begin to prepare for Thanksgiving and begin to think about all of the great things in our lives that we can be thankful for. Each day the 3rd graders think of something they are thankful for and write it on a turkey feather. Then they add it to their turkeys hanging in the hallway. It's so neat to watch as our turkeys' feathers grow with our thankful thoughts!
