Money Bank

Dear Parents, 

       A couple of weeks ago we started this thing called a money bank. The dollars for the money bank have different kinds of dogs on them. The dollars Mrs. Baker has is 20, 10, 5, and 1's. They're called puppy dollars. Mrs. Baker gave us this money book where we record our money. Mrs.Baker stapled a bag in our money book where we keep our money. The things we get our money for is bonuses, homework, jobs ( classroom jobs), and other things.

Bethel Park

Dear Parents, here are some pictures from our field trip to bethel park! 

Our trip to Bethel Park started with a long walk!>

<Most of the things people got on their faces were animals or at least facial hair.......Me, sydnie got bushy eyebrows, sideburns, mustache, and a beard. Me, Allison, decided to look like a tiger.

     The field trip was split into stations. One was fishing. Here is a pic of Merrik with a fish that he caught.

                                                                                        

<Another station had Bochi ball and horse shoes. This is Kate playing a game of horse shoes in action.                                                                                                  

This is the arts and crafts station. At one picnic table, you could make visors. Here they are making bracelets

Here is a snapshot of Natalie hoola-hooping at a games station.

Here is a picture of our class playing " Over and Under ". We are
playing this at a relay station.

Making Ecosystems!

Dear Parents,

        This week we made our ecosystems. We have to use three bottles to make one ecosystem.  Apparently all the fish died on the first day so we had to get new one but when the ecosystem came to my table the fish bobbed at the top. Next day they both died again. We haven't named the fish yet. The bottom things in the ecosystem are a dead fish, elodea, snails, and gravel. At the top of the ecosystem there was dead leaves, roly poly's, worms, grass seeds, gravel, soil, and fabric. The Ecosystems  were a fun project!!!!!!!

Making Board Games!

Dear Parents,

            This week we have started to create game boards. We also created instructions, and game pieces. To create the boards we had to have two people making the board also we had to plan the board game on a piece of notebook paper. After Mrs. Baker checked our plan, we started making the actual game on a BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG piece of colored paper. We worked on our game boards for at least two days. Mrs. Baker said the partners had to decide who got to take the game board home so that one person could take the game home and someone could take the planning sheet home. Making board games is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!

Today's Meet!

Dear Parents,

      A couple weeks ago, the third grade started something called Today's Meet! We do today's meet in the morning when we have the chance. Mrs. Baker asks a question every day and we answer it. Mrs. Baker asks the question in a "room."  A room is where we answer questions and talk about a certain subject. Some examples are LBscience or FinalchapterSG. You have to type todaysmeet.com/ before you type the name of the room. We can't do words like hey girl or what's up. But we can ask our friends things like who is your favorite character or what is your favorite part. And of course, we have to answer the question Mrs. Baker asks ourselves. It is a fun way to learn and talk about science or reading or math....it is a good idea!

Earth day

Dear Parents, 

    This week we planted our own trees. We all had seeds to plant the flowers. The flowers did not need to be watered because the rain. We planted the trees in front of the building. We had them in the front of the school. Each person had there own little section. I wonder what type of flowers we planted? I also wonder if we all planted the same type of flowers or did we plant the same type of flowers. We all were probably at least two inches apart. It was a fun thing to do espically because it was a beautiful day outside.

Sisters Grimm Update!

Dear Parents,

           Since we haven't talked about reading/read aloud lately, Sydnie decided that we could give you an update on "The Sisters Grimm." The Sisters Grimm is a very long, long book. You can fill maybe 2 pages and a half of important parts for one chapter! The girls have found out that their granny is the real one, that mythical creatures are real, and meet a new character named Puck. Puck can control all of the pixies and calls himself "evil". There is a guy named Mayor Charming he basically is rich or some people call him Prince Charming. A giant steals Granny and Mr. Canas and ran off.....also there's this guy named jack from jack and the bean stalk. The girls found jack in prison he said mayor charming did it so the girls came up with a plan to help jack escape, because he said he would help the girls by saving mr.canis and granny. Then later on in the book the girls found out jack really wanted to kill the girls because he is a ever after and most ever afters don't want the grimms to die so they can be free. But that is what we are reading in Read Aloud!
