Whooo is this? These are the 3rd grade owls! Students worked with clay to create these wonderful owls in art class! They used different items to create shapes and texture. Then they applied glaze. Finally, the owls were fired in a kiln. Nice job 3rd grade!

Readers theater is a great way to support expression, intonation, and the use of punctuation. Mrs. Sedlacek’s class told knock knock jokes as a part of their fluency practice this week!
They focused on how punctuation allows the reader to send a message and the audience to listen and comprehend.
AK read the story Stone Soup, and as per the book, everyone contributed to making a pot of stone soup in our classroom! Children brought all types of items (corn, celery, spices, green beans, etc) to add to our soup.
‘It was YUMMY!’ And we all tried it!!
Check out the image for a friendly reminder of rules at the bus stop. These are located in our Student Transportation Handbook. Thanks for your attention to this!
Carsen shared the difference between a sentence and a fragment.
“A sentence has a subject and verb with ending punctuation. A fragment does NOT have a subject and verb. We need complete sentences so we can read all types of books!”
Thank you to all of our teacher and associates substitutes!
