Science is the Best!

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

Mrs. Stewart's class is continuing to learn about the scientific process. Today we did an experiment going through all the steps of the process. Each student wrote a question and made a hypothesis. Then they did their experiment. Today’s experiment was what would happen to gummy bears when put into different
Liquids: vinegar, water, baking soda water and salt water. The students were surprised by the results and had a blast experimenting and observing. We love science in third grade !

Little Scientists Study and Act Out Scientific Process

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

We have been talking about the scientific process in third grade. Today we learned about a scientist, Thomas Edison and machines. Our whole class got to work together in groups with Ben Sansom, our GAINS Drama Specialist, and create a machine that they acted out for the class to guess what their machine did. We had so much fun acting out how each of Thomas Edison’s inventions worked.

Mr. Billie Receives New Vest for Assisting in Cross Walk Each Day

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

Mr. Billie, our custodian, spends a lot of his time out on duty in the crosswalk.  He is always so willing to help take some of this load off of the faculty and staff.  Because of his great service, we "gifted" him with a new hot pink vest so he would stay safe!  Can't miss him now :).  Give him a wave and tell him hello when you pass through the crosswalk.  Thanks, Mr. Billie!

Third Grade Field Trip

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

Our third graders had so much fun on our field trip today. We went to the Bean Museum and attend a live animal show. Then we went to Glen Canyon Park for a picnic. We walked up to Bridal Veil Falls. On our walk back to the park the weather went from sprinkling a little to a down pour. The kids were troopers and we had a great time.
