Tomorrow is the Boosterthon  Fun Run and tonight is the last night to get pledges! Third grade will run at 8:30am in the multipurpose room. Please remind your child to wear tennis shoes and comfy clothes. We were working on our flag today!! Judith came up with our name, Rataiczak's Rockin' Runners, and we incorporated ideas from flag designs by MollyJane, Bennett and Khushi. 

Looking forward to a great day tomorrow!

We kicked off Boosterthon with a pep rally today and your child has a booklet in their binder explaining what Boosterthon is all about. Don't forget to register your child at www.funrun.com so they can start earning pledges!

Observing Soil

In class we are studying about soil. We observed three soils and drew what they looked like without a hand lens and then with a hand lens. Last, we got to describe what the soils looked like and described how they felt.

other people's pet rock.

end.

Pet Rocks

This is our pet rock project. We created anything we wanted. I liked this project because we got to do anything we wanted. My other reason is that you could be creative. Mine has a jersey that is blue and black and has a soccer ball in his hand. His name is Trenton.
