Great Way to Start 2021

The 3rd grade students at TISA are off to a great start in 2021. Take a look at some of the great work they have done in the last couple weeks, especially in Science and Social Studies.

The students studied plant respiration by putting plastic bags over plant leaves. The condensation inside the bags showed how plants breathe out oxygen, which is the same gas that we humans breathe in. 

Some students got a head start on the next week's Science project, in which they will find out whether seedlings need soil in order to sprout. Stay tuned for the results of that!

Other students showed great work in last week's Social Studies assignment, where we studied New Mexican Geography and Culture.

TCC and Guadalupe gym field trips and Students of the Month for December and January

Congratulations once again to Caira for winning the Smelly T-Shirt Reading Contest in the Fall. Acknowledgement is also in order for Abby, Willow, and Analyia, who came in close runners up.  Fortunately for everyone, our class is starting up a new Reading Contest for the Spring. The theme is a Reading Marathon. We are now writing our reading logs on "running feet," which we are going to put up around the school and see how far we get! Students will continue to earn stickers, which they can put on their marathon avatars.  Our class went on a fantastic field trip last week to the Talpa Community Center. We got to visit the library, where the students explored new books and read to each other. Thanks to the librarian there, Ms. Lucita, we also got to make tortillas. They came out so tasty, and the students enjoyed eating them for lunch paired with butter, peanut butter, and fresh jam. Feel free to contact me if you want the recipe.  Our class walked to the Guadalupe gymnasium la

Fact Flowers, Student of the Month, and Yoga at TISA

 The Third Grade has been working on a colorful integrated art project for math. If you are visiting our school, stop by the Elementary hallway to see our lovely Fact Flowers! The students took a number, such as 8, and came up with as many addition and subtraction problems as they could that equal 8.  TISA was proud to honor two Students of the Month. These students stood out at the beginning of the year for showing the TISA values of Thoughtfulness, Integrity, Safety, and Artistry.  The Third Grade students have been doing an excellent job of leading their class through activities. Here is one student coming up to show us how to use the Number Grid.  The students have enjoyed doing Yoga with Ms. Reema. Yoga is a fantastic physical education activity that gets them moving, stretching, and balancing.

3rd grade off to a fantastic start!

Lots of cool stuff has been happening in the 3rd grade since we started school a couple of weeks ago. The students have been doing a great job of getting to know one another again, becoming familiar with the classroom procedures, and working hard on all that they do.  Here are some photos from our Summer Break Show and Tell. The students did a good job of figuring out what their classmates brought beforehand. Then when it came to be their turn to stand up and share, they all did awesome at speaking clearly and telling the class some interesting things about their summer.  Freya brought one shoe - because the other one got lost in the river! Justin spent time constructing elaborate Lego sets over the summer. Violet won a medal for softball. Cypress got a lovely necklace on her summer vacation.  Ruby won a Pokemon hat at the fair. Yes, those ears are actually moving! Avaree made these cool clothespin creatures at camp. Rowan shared with us this cuddly character. Willow found this amazing
