Mrs. Soons Class

What a Wonderful Wednesday!

First of all, I forgot to say thank you for the First Aid Kit! We've already used it twice for our class and once for another class who didn't have a kit yet. It is quite full with supplies of all kinds...THANKS!

We had art today...so I thought I'd share some photos of your little artists. The students worked on portraits of a pal by looking at their 'subject' in order to sketch an outline of their face and features. I must say, they are really really good!

Ms. Gill and the ART CART! When you see the cart, be ready to start! :)

Our Social Studies projects are coming along nicely and the students should be ready to present next week.  Here a few shots of the nearly finished products.

 Paul Revere research on one of our new LAPTOPS !

Susan B. Anthony

Thurgood Marshall

This team wrote a play to teach the class about Eleanor Roosevelt

We have been discussing self evaluation and reflection on learning this week. Since we will not be using grades as a means of reporting our progress, the students need to understand how well they are doing when it comes to meeting the requirements for third grade. Here is the self evaluation rubric system we are using.

Levels of Understanding

Kid friendly!

Last but not least, one of our friends has left us for an opportunity she couldn't pass up. Our sweet class gave her hugs and high fives to say goodbye. They are the best and the kindest children ever!
