Solving a Mystery: A Unit on Chemicals

 Jotting down properties of the "mystery goo" in our science journals

 Using our sense of touch to gather more properties of the goo

Today marked our very first science experiment!  We are in a unit on chemicals where we are examining five mystery powders (common household substances).  Stay tuned for more pictures as we get closer and closer to solving our mysteries!

What We are Loving Most About Grade 3!

The first two days are down (Friday being VERY eventful with the storm that came through!), and the kids and I couldn't be more excited about third grade.  Here's what we are loving lately:

*Weston and Travis: recess and lunch (and who doesn't, right?!)

* Graysin, Madison, Aubry, Makenzie, Alex, Brandon, Grace, Alec, Natalia and Kaia: Readers' Workshop

* Blake, Cora, Brandon, Megan, Sam, Clay, and Annika: my teacher - gotta love 3rd graders! :)

* Madeline K.: Writers' Workshop

*Miranda: chewing gum (a special reward they got for having their assingment notebooks signed - I am afraid I may have started something here...)

*Madelynn, and Peter:  Art, Library, and Music

*Dylan and Cana: Math Bingo

*Owen: game time

*Mrs. Steif: her 26 amazing, curious, smart 3rd graders!!
