Our Daily Life in Pictures

I've had a little difficulty getting my phone and computer to communicate with each other to share photos, but hopefully you can see what we are working on in 3rd grade!

Pumpkin Patch Pictures!

The Internet finally decided to like me!

We had such a great time at Fischer Farms Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze!

This is the map we had to follow to get out of the maze.  Oh my!!

On our way home we stopped at the park to eat.  While others finished up the kids got ot play on the equipment.



Our bunch!



These are just some candid shots while we were there!

Pumpkin picking!

Weekly Notes Oct. 22-25

Lots of fun things happening in third grade!

*Parent Teacher Conferences are today 12-6 and tomorrow 8-11. 

*Be on the look out for our new newsletter that comes home on Fridays! 

*Our pumpkin patch field trip is November 2 in Jefferson City.  Be sure and wear clothes they can get muddy/dirty in.  They will be roaming through a pumpkin patch, finding their way through a corn maze, jumping in a big box of corn kernels and romping in the mud.  Good times!

Here is a look at our week.

*  Reading- We can use details from a story to make inferences about a character.  Making an inference is like “reading between the lines”.

*  Writing- We have used our five senses while describing things. We even got to eat candy bars!

*  Spelling-We used –ea and –eigh for our long ‘a’ spelling pattern.

*  Math- We finished up Ch. 2 and all students will be returning to our room!

*  Science-We learned about the digestive, muscular, nervous, integumentary and skeletal systems.

Working on some sequencing strips for the book "Today was a Terrible Day" by Patricia Reilly Giff.

A sneak peek at the pumpkin patch we are going to on Friday.  My sister in law and I took the kids there!

This is just the small hay maze, the corn maze is MUCH bigger.  I'd never find my little guy in it though!
