We finally made it to Christmas break!! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. On our last day of 2017, the kids participated in some fun activities. We sang Blitzen's Boogie in the school's annual Singing Around the Tree assembly. They sounded great!! The kids that reach 90% or higher on Reflex Math had the opportunity to go to the third grade Reflex Math party. Also, the students that were chosen to be in the school's 200 Club were able to go to a special 200 Club party. I also did a lesson about the Northern Lights and the kids created their own Northern Lights. I think that they look wonderful. The class is full of creative kids!! Thank you so much for all the support you give the class. I am excited for the New Year and all of the great stuff we have planned! Happy Holidays! Ms. O Ellie was the Character Ed recipient for December! Northern Lights As you know from the weekly updates, we have been busy in our class! The Native American projects turned out great and I was so proud of the kids and their hard work. Throughout the rest of the year we will be focusing on cultures and geography in social studies. We began this by doing a short unit on Russia. We discussed where Russia was located on the map and globe and we talked about Russian culture. I showed them clips from The Nutcracker and the students learned about the Russian artist, Kadinsky. The students then examined one of his famous paintings, Winter Landscape. They recreated their own version of the painting using two different mediums. They had a wonderful time doing this art project and they turned out wonderful! Finally, I had the students write a quick narrative piece about why the like winter. You can see their wonderful creations on my bulletin board. They will be there through January. I love doing lessons like this and I had a lot of fun doing this with the kids. I can't wait for the next one! Below I have pictures from the Native American presentations and my new wintry bulletin board :) Stay Warm! Ms. O |

I enjoy paddle boarding, cooking, hiking, skiing and running. I have two adorable kids who keep me pretty busy. I love Mexican food and coffee. This is my third year at Sunrise and I am so happy to be a part of the Sunrise community. Third grade is my favorite grade! Archives
