Crape Myrtle Run

McClure won the participation award for the 5th year in a row! We had so many students and their family participate in the event. Way to go Marshals!!!!

FUN RUN 2015

We had our FUN RUN and the kids had a blast! It was a very war day, but our Specials Team did a fantastic job keeping them busy. Thanks to our Room Moms for getting us a class banner and for providing each student with water.

 The 3rd grade team.

Fun Friday

Each week we will have a goal to set aside 15-20 minutes for Fun Friday. Students who have completed their homework for the week will get to participate. The class enjoyed listening to music and building race tracks. They are learning about incline planes, ramps, velocity, teamwork, and much more through this "playing". 

I would like to thank Hot Wheels for sending me this classroom kit!

Buddy Reading

Students partnered up to buddy read the story Ramona and her Father. This week we are focusing on character analysis. 

ELM: Communities

This week we are starting our first ELM project in Social Studies. Students were placed into groups, created a team name, and chose team jobs. They are excited to create a brochure about McKinney that will be placed in the Library.

Here is the link to the video that our Media Resource Specialist (MRS), Mrs. Hamilton, created for third grade. The students were eager and excited to get a special video.

Grandparent's Day Lunch

Today we had several grandparents join us for lunch. The kids were so excited to have a special visitor. Thanks to all of the grandparents who were able to make it today. Big hugs to those who live far away...we missed you!
