Marathon Kids Kickoff

We had our Marathon Kids kickoff to help us get ready to run 26.2 miles over the course of the next couple of months. The children should be running weekly to meet this goal. At the end we will walk to the TCU track and run around it where we will get a medal to show we ran a marathon. Keep running!

Omni Theater


In third grade we get to go to the Omni Theater inside the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. Here are a couple of kids getting ready to see the movie Forces of Nature. We studied tornadoes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes to prepare us for this wonderful field trip.

Inside Recess

Sometimes when it rains, we have to have inside recess. Amelia and Caya were very creative on this very wet day.

Flower Investigation









We did the Flower Investigation and dissected flowers. Rebekka, our student teacher from Switzerland, taught the lesson. Leigh and Harmoni, our TCU observers, helped with the process.

WOATS - Justin Anderson








Justin Anderson from WOATS came and talked to the whole third grade about economics. He started his own business when he was 16 years old! He used the analogy of the lemonade stand to teach how to have a business. He also brought free samples of WOATS for all of the children. We love Justin!!!

Math-o-ween
















Every year we have Math-o-ween. Our class voted to do Super Size Trash Can math. We used chairs and Adrienne's super size dice. The kids dress up in math related costumes and come and play math games. Students volunteer to run the game while other classes come to play.

Cowgirl Museum




Every year our school has an auction. I donated "An Afternoon at the Cowgirl Museum." The highest bidder gets to invite three friends to go. Yee haw!

Getting Ready for Homecoming

Our class voted to do Carlson College Coyotes as our Homecoming theme this year. Here they are making the poster for Homecoming.
