Corn is Growing in Third Grade

"I am constantly challenging my students to read more. So, I tried to come up with something that would be exciting for them. After they read a book (it has to be read in 3rd grade), they fill out the corn cob and husk. I start a corn stalk for them. Once they have filled it with corn, they will begin a new stalk. My goal is to fill the wall between the two third grade doors. Reading is important and you need to make it fun for the students." - Miss McLaughlin, Third Grade

Third Grade Projects Are Very Creative

See our book reports - very creative cereal-box looking presentations and the group pumpkin decorating contest entries from the class:

Going Blue...and Green!

Every Wednesday you'll see these containers outside the Children's Center. The 4th grade has taken on the recycling responsibilities for our elementary! Each afternoon, students are assigned to go to a classroom and pick-up the recyclable items and dump them into our special bins. Many thanks to the city for working with us and providing the containers. We will be educating our students about the importance of recycling and the 4th grade will get to go on a field trip to see how all of that works. Thanks Mrs. Sanders and the 4th grade.
