Today was Idiom Day!

We have worked hard all year to learn figurative language in order to be better readers and understand what people mean when they use these expressions. Today students came dressed like an idiom. Boy! they were so creative. It was a super fun learning experience for all!

March Madness Challenge ~ read 1,000 minutes in March

WOW! I am always up for a challenge and giving a challenge. These students took me up on my challenge and exceeded my expectations. We celebrated their willingness to push themselves and read almost everyday~even over spring break with pizza or Jimmy John lunch and dessert (yummy)!  Remember...."Always make time to get lost in a good book!"

Way to grow! 

Family Folk Dance Night

Last week 3rd grade had their yearly music performance. Mrs. Rosellini worked hard to teach the class the many folk  dances to share with you all! It was great to see so many families take time out of their busy schedules to see what their child is learning about in music and dance together. Here are some photos from the evening!

Chicago History Museum Visit

On the 100th birthday of the Chicago flag, 3rd grade visited the Chicago History Museum to kick off our social studies unit on Chicago. Students will continue to study and learn about how Chicago came to be the 3rd largest city in the US. We will study the impact of  The Great Chicago Fire and how the events after shaped Chicago. Here are some photos from our day at the museum.
