1st Quarter AR Party!

1st Quarter AR Party!

The 3rd Grade AR achievers watched the movie Hachi: A Dog's Tale.  This movie is about a schoolboy that reports on his hero: Hachiko, his grandfather's dog.  In a flashback, a puppy at a Japanese monastery is crated and sent to the US.  The crate's tag tears, and when the puppy pushes his way out of the crate at the train station of a small Rhode Island town, Parker Wilson, a professor of music in nearby Providence, takes the dog home for the night.  His wife isn't happy about it, but after failing to find the owner, she lets the dog stay.  A Japanese friend reads the dog's tag - "Hachiko" or "Eight," a lucky number!

Fall in Love with Reading

Last week students helped me make pumpkins to decorate our bulletin board for the Fall season!  On their pumpkin they wrote "My favorite book is...."!  

Thank You, Mr. Falker

Today the 3rd Grade class read a book called "Thank You, Mr. Falker!" 

"Overjoyed at the thought of starting school and learning to read, Trisha is dismayed when all the letters and numbers in her books are jumbled up.  Only Mr. Falker recognizes her problem and takes the time to lead her to the magic of reading."

The students learned that people in our lives everyday are making a positive impact on their lives!  They wrote a thank you letter to a person that made a positive impact on their very own life! 

Read "Thank You, Mr. Falker"
