Mrs.Keegan's third graders are showing off their new writing binders for Writer's Workshop. These students decorated them with things they like for example: pictures of family, pets, motivational sayings, art work, professional game ticket stubs, etc. This gives them instant ideas to create personal narratives when they get stuck.

Many thanks to our PTO for sponsoring our 4th grade MCBA program again this year! We are so lucky, and we cannot wait to read these books. Which one do I read first???
Mrs. Keegan's third grade scientists working with partners to design a paper bridge that can hold the most weight! This is part of our Mystery Science Program with Forces and Motion. They created pillars out of paper to support the weight, folded triangles to keep it up, and accordion folds to equal out the weight. They loved this hands on task!
