Dental Health Poster Winner
During the month of February while we were studying our "Staying Healthy" unit for Science, I decided to incorporate a couple days of Dental Health, as the entire state of Iowa was focusing on it as well. As part of their study, they wanted 3rd grade teachers to incorporate some lessons into their classroom as well as have their students participate in a poster contest. The theme for this year was "Turn up your Smile Power." Each student got to choose how they wanted to create their poster as long as they incorporated the theme. Three 3A students' posters were chosen (in a vote by the class) to send on to the district level. We were lucky enough to have one of our students, Elle Feucht, be a district winner!!! As a district winner, she received a $100 Savings Bond! We are so proud of her for this great accomplishment!
Winners of Metric Olympics
Here are the winners from each of the 5 Metric Olympic Events!
* I will have to wait until I can get into my new room (floors being waxed) before I can post the events and the scores! I don't remember who exactly won each event - May was a long time ago!
Metric Olympics
On the last Wednesday of the school year, we held a Metric Olympics. Each student participated in 5 events: Cotton ball Shotput, Paper plate discus, Paper straw javelin, Right-handed Marble Grab, and Left-handed Sponge Squeeze. The object of each was for each student to ESTIMATE what their results would be, measure the actual result, and then find the difference between the two. The person who had the smallest difference was the winner for each event. We were lucky enough to have the 7th grade math classes help us with all of our events. They helped our students with the events by aiding with the measuring as well as with the actual math. They made it run so smoothly! Thanks so much to them and to their teacher, Mr. Childress (my brother), for helping us out! We are definitely going to do something similar in 4th grade!!!!
