Biography Reports!

Biography reports are finished and went well!  It is amazing to see how much the students have grown since our presentations  at the beginning of the year!   It was fun watching how comfortable they were in front of the group.  We learned so many cool and interesting facts!  I know they claimed to be nervous, but it was not evident at all!  Thanks to all for jobs WELL DONE!!!!!  I was proud of my future fourth graders!!!

Field Day Pictures!!!!!!

Field Day was a huge hit!  We did have a HOT day, but everyone did so well!  Even though we came in 2nd place in 3rd Grade,  I  was very proud of our group!  They worked hard and kept on trying.  We were encouraging others and working as a team.  The coaches and others noticed too, because the WHOLE THIRD GRADE won the SPIRIT AWARD!!!!  This says A LOT about the terrific group of students!!! They are 1st place to me ANY DAY!!!
