3rd Grade Photos

The girls making chain designs

Just last week, Mr. Morris came to the school to talk about archery.  The students were so excited to get a chance to shoot a bow.


Mr. Morris demonstrating how to pull back the string.



The students all had a chance to shoot.



Not bad!

Multiplication

Third grade is almost synonymous with multiplication.  We start learning our facts early in the year, and we practice them the rest of the year.  To introduce the concept of multiplication, we used pennies.  Each student had to demonstrate a multiplication fact by grouping their pennies.

 Below are a few unique creations that the students came up with...





Show and Tell

Last week we had our first show and tell.  Some students brought interesting things from home, some brought valuable treasures, and some brought their talents.  Here are a few pictures...

Sydney explaining the healing power of the aloe vera plant


Kelsie and her bunny


Trey and his popsicle stick creation.  He made this all by himself!

Connor and his Scooby Doo

We had a great time listening to the student's presentations and sharing their special treasures with them.
