Plants, Plants, and more Plants!!!

We received cabbages from Bonnie Plants. Each student was able to take one home to plant and take care of. They were given instructions on how to take care of it and how to submit it for the contest. Students could win $1,000 towards education and statewide recognition from Bonnie Plants. Make sure to take a digital picture of yourself and your cabbage then submit it to Mrs. Thompson or Mr. Bogozan. Visit www.bonniecabbageprogram.com to watch the parent video and to show your child the student video. Submissions must be turned into Mrs. Thompson or Mr. Bogozan no later than September 20th, even though you've already moved on to the 4th grade. Have fun and happy growing!!!! 

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!!!

We've been celebrating Dr. Suess al this week with different activities!! Today we had a special reader visit our class who read Green Eggs and Ham. We would like to send a special THANK YOU to the Douglas County Sherrif's Office and Deputy Akers for coming to our class and reading. The kids loved it and had such a great time!! 

Magnetic Slime

Today in class we made magnetic slime. The students were able to play with the slime and a wand magnet. If you would like to make the magnetic slime at home you need 1/4 cup of liquid glue, 1/4 cup of liquid starch and 2 tablespoons of iron filings. It's really exciting to see the students make the connection from what we're learning in our book with what we're learning hands-on. 

Exploring Magnets

Today we talked about the magnetic field that surrounds a magnet. We can't wait for tomorrow when we make magnetic slime!!! 

Black History Month

Booker T. Washington 

POLYGONS!!

Today we were learning about the different attributes of different types of polygons. We talked about parallel lines, right angles and equal sides. 

Started our new Science unit on MAGNETS!!!

Today we started our unit on magnets. The students worked together in small groups and discussed what the parts of a magnet are and what magnets are used for. I loved listening to the discussions they have with each other. It's amazing the conversations they can have when they are given time to talk about what they are learning and are able to lead their own discussions.
