Learning About Native Americans

This week we are learning about the Native American Indians or Georgia.  The students have chosen a Native American name for themselves.  We are also learning about Native American Symbols.  Soon we will be able to write our Native American names using symbols.  We have so much to learn about.  Next week we will be making drums and headdresses.  I hope me class will be ready to do their rain dance at the end of next week.   How do you think they will feel about doing a rain dance and experience first hand a little of the Native American culture?

Dioromas

If you pass by any of the 3rd grade classrooms watch out for Lions, Tigers, and Bears...Oh my.. We have some outstanding dioramas. Our students put allot of hard work into making a habitat for an animal that they chose. I am very proud of all of our students for being so creative and hard working.

Keep up the good work.

Election

Well, another Presidential election has come and gone. It was really exciting to see all of my students become so involved in the election. By watching CNN everyday my students were able to keep up the keep up with the candidates. Most of my class voted for Bush on Monday. Everyone was excited that Bush won the mock-election, however on Wednesday when we found out Bush had won for real, our excitement could not be contained.
