Christmas Memories!

One of the best gifts one can give or receive is the gift of friendship!

Each year, third grade teachers have students help create their Christmas presents. This years students got the hang of beading very quickly. They did an awesome job creating patterns (yes we're working in a little math here) with beads to embellish their scarves. Check out some of us at work and our finished products!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Enjoy the beautiful snow!

Throw a few snowballs for me!

Multiplication Matters

Our current unit of study in Mathematics is Multiplication. Students are working hard to learn with automaticity (knowing the answer within three to five seconds) the multiplication facts from 0-10. In addition to the tasks we complete in class, I've been sharing some online games to help students practice the multiplication facts.

Georgia on Our Minds!

We are happy to present to you our completed Georgia Habitats display! We worked diligently for 10 weeks exploring each habitat and learning what make each one unique to the animals found there. We created a hall display to show the plant and animals in each habitat. We worked in small groups to create posters for each habitat with important facts you should know. Here are a few photos from our display!

Red Ribbon Week

Gilbert Elementary School celebrated Red Ribbon Week the week of October 25-29th. Students had fun dressing up each day to show our promise and commitment to being DRUG FREE! Each classroom was challenged to create their own slogan and decorate classroom doors with that theme. We came up with "No Bones About It - We're drug-free!" Enjoy the slide show of photos from Friday's book character dress up and red balloon release!
