Cool posters and much more!

 The TISA 3rd grade completed their "How to Be Cool" projects recently. Everyone gave great presentations, telling the class about what makes them cool. We were also glad to have our remote-learners come on Zoom to present their posters. 








In Art class, the students have been working on self-portraits in the style of pop artists Roy Lichtenstein. We have some amazingly modern artists in this class.





In Math we have been working on telling time, place value and addition and subtraction with regrouping. 


In Literacy, we have been reading a mystery story. Over the next week we will be working on writing our own mysteries! We have also been doing cursive writing and talking about parts of speech, like nouns and verbs. 


In Science we have been talking about heat and temperature. We did an exciting experiment last week, where we observed how the particles in hot and cold water are moving about differently. 


In Social Studies, we have been looking at early American history, including the Native Americans who were here for thousands of years, the arrival of the explorers, and the first American colonies.

They all learned their lines well, the singing and dancing was incredible, and the costumes were stupendous! We are all very grateful to Ms. Anandi for leading up the fine theatre program we have here at TISA.

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 gymnasiu...

Final field trips

Image
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 co...
