Leprechaun Traps

In March, we made leprechaun traps to catch those sneaky leprechauns. Students were told that they first needed to attract their leprechauns and then they needed to trap them. They did a FANTASTIC job! Have fun looking at the various traps!

Math Fun!!

A few weeks ago, we learned about area for Math. So Mrs. Evans gave everyone some connecting blocks. We were told to build whatever we wanted, but we had to be able to identify the area of our figure. We had so much fun! Mr. Acedo even came in and saw how much fun we were having!!

Looks like these boys are having fun!!

Look at those cool figures!

I wonder what the area of those figures are!

These girls combined their blocks and decided to build a huge figure. What a great idea girls!

Both of these boys made the letter "L" as their figure.

Who would've thought that learning could be so cool?!

Look at those happy faces!!

We had a blast learning about area! I'll bet Mrs. Evans has some more fun things planned for us!

The District Spelling Bee

We are so excited because one of the students from our class was one of the winners for Montara's Spelling Bee! So, she was able to compete in the District Spelling Bee. She studied really hard, and the words were really difficult. She told us that when she was competing in the District Spelling Bee, she was given the word "gristle", but she got nervous and messed up on the word. She still did fabulous. The best part was that she was able to eat Del Taco for lunch, provided by the district. Way to go! We're so proud of you! :)!

All Board the Polar Express!

Since we had all those snow days back in December, we weren't able to have our Polar Express Party until after we got back from Christmas Break. Although it was a month later, we still had a blast! The students all dressed up in their pyjamas and we watched the movie "The Polar Express".

Looks like they're enjoying the party!

Some students even brought a blanket for the long train ride! :)!

We also ate lots of yummy food.

We even set up our desks in the shape of a train!

Mrs. Evans even made everyone a cup of hot chocolate! Yummy!

I think the best part was that Mrs. Evans also gave out Playdoh. I think some students liked the Playdoh better than the movie!

Looks like we had a good party! You can even see Mrs. Evans in the background along with our parent helper!

The best part is that everyone had fun just being together!

Snow?!!?

The Monday before Christmas Break, we had quite a surprise. . . it started snowing!! Snow is such a rare thing for us that we let the kids go out and play in the snow!

Looks like they're having fun!

Can you feel the excitement from that day?

It snowed for quite a few hours. Look at how much snow we had!

Now look at the playground!

We ended up having so much snow that everyone went home right after lunch.

Then on Wednesday, we had another snowstorm with even more snow. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to the school because of the snow, so I don't have any pictures from that day. We had so much snow that they closed the school on Thursday and Friday! What a great lead up to our Christmas Break! :)!

These are snowstorms that I'm sure we won't ever forget!

Montara's Spelling Bee

In the beginning of December, we had our 3rd grade school Spelling Bee. Each 3rd grade class had 3 contestants and they had to spell some pretty difficult words! They did great though!

It looks like some of our contestants are getting pretty nervous!

Mrs. Jones did a wonderful job of guiding the contestants along in the Spelling Bee!

Mrs. Jones sure looks happy to be helping with the Spelling Bee!

After all of their hard work, our Spelling Bee had 3 wonderful winners! Good luck to the 3 of you at the District Spelling Bee!
