Welcome to Third Grade!
Feb. 27, 2009 What's Happening at KSU in the ATT Classroom? We had another busy week as we finished our study of the digestive system. We finished our 'claymation movies' of food moving through the digestive system. They turned out awesome! I can't wait for you to see them at the last day celebration on Friday, March 13 1:30-2:30. Mark your calendars--we are anxious to share our experiences! We began learning about the skeletal system, our bones and joints. Next week we will be creating our own games about the system. Our week ended with a fabulous field trip to Nixon Hall where we learned even more about nutritious foods, and enjoyed some healthy Smoothies courtesy of our nutritionist, Gretta. It was a phenominal! Fourth Grade Economics Note: Throughout the month of March, the fourth grade is collecting used, unwanted crayons for our 4th grade business. They can be delivered to Room 12, 14 or 16. What's Happening in the Classroom?
