Fingers crossed, Spring will decide to stay with us!
This past week found our scholars researching what happens to an ecosystem when uncontrollable event happens to it. We are almost finished with a brochure on sea otters. We were surprised with furry "otters" that we could adopt; we filled out adoption papers and read the pledge on taking good care of our otters. Friday presented us with a mock oils spill! The scholars took great care to clean the otters well and gently!
It took the morning to write up the report on how the otter fared; whether it was to be released back into the wild, to go to a rehabilitation program or to go to a hospeital for surgery. We are looking forward to being able to bring them home early next week!
We also took time to clean our block up on Thursday.
April is poetry month! We have been creating cinquain poems, haiku poems, free verse poems, acrostic and shape poems. We will select the one or two we wish to put into our class book. A few of the poems will be posted on this site soon!
Our third annual Poetry Slam ended the week for all scholars. The Saints Peter and Paul church held our champions and fans alike as they performed so very well. Our Roman represented us well with a baseball poem entitled "Life". Thank you to all of our scholars in our room who presented; you made us stronger as presenters.
Yesterday also focused on celebrating the Saint for Success. This month focused on "Hope".Emani was voted by the class tobe our representative for this virtue. we are grateful for Emani's friendship and role modeling!
Thank you for all who have donated for the third grade basket that will be auctioned off in next week's Gala, May 3rd. Next week Friday is the early release, as well as a spirit wear day. THURSDAY IS NOT AN EARLY RELEASE, as it usually is.
