Final field trips

The Third Grade has been busy learning and going on educational field trips. Here you can see some of the projects and activities that we have been up to.  Here we are at the Talpa Community Center, where Ms. Luzita read us a cool story called The Arrow of the Sun. We then did an art activity based on the story and played in the playground.  We went to the Taos Junction Bridge, where we investigated the types of insects that trout like to eat in their natural habitat.  After visiting the river we went to the New Mexico Wildlife Center in Espanola. We saw owls, hawks, and a bobcat. We had a number of new Students of the Month for April and May. Congratulations to them for all their hard work and the unique gifts they bring to our class! More project presentations. People helped clean, helped take care of animals, helped work in restaurants and do laundry! More photos of the NMWC. The weather was perfect that day. We also met a bird who plays the piano! In our continuing collaboration wi

Loads of stuff has been happening in the Third Grade as the end of the year approaches. We have had fun field trips, visits from cool community members, and positively awesome projects lately. And we still have plenty more to come! Our class went on a fantastic field trip at the beginning of April to the Taos Country Club. We got taught by golf pros about the finer points of putting and driving.  We also found out that one of the best things about golfing on a windy day is having hot cocoa in the club restaurant! Inspired by our reading of Stuart Little by E.B. White, the class made poster to show what they did for their How to Be a Helper projects. The students came up with generous and caring ways to help their families and their community.  Helping grandma in the garden Helping dad do home renovation Helping family collect and cut up fire wood Helping uncle do house chores Helping everyone in the family, including pets!
