A Trip To The Science Lab . . .

The third graders made their third trip to the science lab today. They made models of how the earth's crust folds, making mountains.

St. Pius Annual Jog-a-Thon

The annual St. Pius Jog-a-Thon to raise money for technology was held on October 1st. The kids had a great time and put forth a lot of effort running! Thanks to the parents who were able to be there to help keep track of their laps. Thanks also to the PTO for providing us with yummy popsicles and a lunch too!

September Update

It is hard to believe Fall is really upon us. The third graders have been busy this year. We are in the process of writing our second piece of writing - a personal narrative. We've begun our new Reading series - F.A.S.T. The children are excelling in it! We've been to the Science Lab two times already for experiments about our Earth. We are looking forward to Picture Day this week, and the annual St. Pius Jog-A-Thon in October!

Let the New Year Begin!
The new year is right around the corner. I am blessed to be teaching 3rd grade this year, and I can't wait. Hopefully everyone got their post card in the mail this summer. I can't wait to see all of you next week!

The End is Near...

It is hard to believe that the end of the year is upon us! In these last days, we hope your children will continue to learn through some less traditional activities, and that they will enjoy their time as they look forward to summer. They have all grown so much. On the last day of school, we'll be sending home a folder with work we've saved throughout the year. It is amazing all they have learned!

We hope you have a restful summer. Best wishes to all the students in 2nd grade.
See you in the Fall!

Thank you Special People and Grandparents for visiting our school last week. We all enjoyed the day together! We hope you liked our poem and the rest of the skits put on by the Students of St. Pius!

Grandmas and Grandpas are everything nice
Like presents and candy and raspberry ice.

And chocolate fudge sundaes with cherries on top
And peanuts and popcorn and grape soda pop!

In winter or summer in rain or in sun
Grandmas and Grandpas are wonderful fun!

Science Day

We all received gold medals for our hard work on Science Day!
Our planes are flying out of the gym!

We made paper airplanes with a partner from Room 23,

then went to the gym to see how they fly!

We built a bridge! Tomorrow we will see if our toy car can drive across it!
