I still have one spot for a parent to join us on the field trip to the Daniel Boone House. We will be leaving at 8:30 am and be back at school by 2:30 pm. Let me know if you would like to join us!
Thanksgiving Feast
Kati Connell and PJ Lowry have graciously agreed to help us organize the 3rd Grade Feast. We will be needing quite a bit of help, so please take a minute to sign up. We will need food, donations, and actual people to come in and help make the pies. Also, please remember to RSVP if you are able to come and eat with us on Tuesday 11/26. Thank you so much for all the help you have already given our class!
Thanksgiving Unit
Mr. Fishburn and I have decided to mix our classes together for the next 10 days and do a Thanksgiving unit. The basic idea of the unit goes like this:
1. The kids will be mixed together and put into groups based on their choice of project. Each project is different and covers a different aspect of Thanksgiving.
2. Half of the days will be spent in groups researching and completing their project.
3. The other half of the days will be spent in homerooms doing things as a whole class with Thanksgiving themed Reading, Math, and Religion.
4. The kids will be presenting their projects to the parents using various types of technology at the Feast on Tuesday.
There will not be very much outside homework that is given this next week due to the nature of the projects.
