In third grade, we have been learning, reading, and writing about animals. Today, we shared our animal reports with the second-grade students. It is always fun to share our writing with others!

Life Skills class had our final guest speaker this week. Dennis Evans spoke to the class about planning for retirement and investing. Two biggest lessons he wanted to teach, start early to take advantage of compounding interest and do whatever you can to match your company's 401k offer (if they offer it). 💙🩶🤍
Thanks, Dennis.

H is for hedgehogs, and the TK class made some pretty amazing hedgehogs!
Thank you to all of you who are a book sponsor of Mrs. Fleshner's third-grade classroom. The kids each picked out a book from the book order that they wanted. Their new books came today. They were so excited! Thank you again to those of you who donated money to make this happen. We will do this again two more times this year!
State Cheerleading Championships are THIS Saturday, November 1st, in Des Moines!
💙🎀💙
Hope to have a BIG crowd cheering us on!
Over the last two weeks the employability skills class and a few individuals from life skills participated in mock interviews.
Thank you to the following individuals for helping with the mock interviews to allow our students learn along with giving them very valuable feedback. 💙🩶🤍

Last week, we had Ag in the Classroom for the third-grade students. We compared pumpkins to apples. We also used our senses to do an activity with red and green apples. Shari also brought us pumpkin pie in a bag to try! Thank you to Shari and Grundy County Farm Bureau for making this learning experience happen for our students!
