Stations
This week we created new flowers for our bulletin board, finished up math and played some multiplication games along with using games on the computer. Several kids checked in on the eagles...two eaglets have hatched!
Science
This week the kids did their own experiments with the Water Cycle. A lot of interesting facts were discovered! The kids also started their final test which is writing a story about the journey of a raindrop.
Math
We continue to work on fractions, learning about equivalent fractions and how to write a mix numeral. Remember to practice the 1/2 sheet multiplication facts EVERYDAY. These are a good way to practice for our timed tests.

Old Creamery Theater
This afternoon we were visited by the Old Creamery Theater from Amana. They performed several short skits showing the kids how to be good friends.
Hills Bank visits with their baby chicks
Cindy Oldfield and Tyler Coblentz visited the third grade classes today to share about their baby chicks they have at the bank. They read a story about Charlie (one of the baby chicks) and his life cycle. It fit in perfectly with us watching the Eagles, and we had a great discussion comparing an Eagle's life cycle to a chick's life cycle.
