Doublesticks

Featured Blogger: Nikita

In Gym, we did doublesticks. Doublesticks are two sticks (as mentioned), and a third stick on top of the two other sticks that you are holding. You can do tricks with them, like lift the middle stick into the air by tossing it from stick-to-stick. Also, you can put the middle stick onto the two little sticks, and toss the middle stick into the air and make the middle stick do a flip. There is also a lot of other tricks, but I don’t know them all.  It was fun because there is a lot of different tricks, and you can make-up your own. That’s what we did in Gym.

Playing Recorders

Playing recorders is hard at first but gets easier as you learn more. When you are in third grade, you will learn nine songs and seven notes.  All the students in your classroom will get a recorder. You can get them in multiple colors like: red, blue, green, and white.  Playing recorders is not the easiest thing to do, but you will get the hang of it. 

I love playing the recorder and many of the kids in my class like playing it too. All the third graders in the school will get a recorder until fourth grade. Then you will keep it forever!  Happy playing!

Spooky Stories

Featured Blogger: Ally

A few weeks ago, we did Halloween story problems in math. Ms. Sprague said that we could make up the stories ourselves. Some kids did spooky stories, some did not so spooky stories. Two kids made really hard math stories. Both of them had division! Weeks later, some kids did more stories, other kids did not.  Ms.Sprague made a math book out of all of the math problems. I can’t wait to finish the book!

3Sp Halloween Party

Featured Blogger: Jason

At the 3Sp Halloween party we made skeletons out of q-tips. We made ghosts out of marshmallows and googly eyes. We also made wreaths. There were word searches. There was food and some candy and some fruit. There was music at the party too. Some student’s parents came too. There are five tables and they had all the crafts. On the other two tables were food and goodie bags. Also we had decorations of course and don't forget about costumes. The last thing I wanted to tell you was the party was a BLAST!

Jump Bands

In gym my class has been working on jump bands. For the first times we did jump bands with only three people. We've been doing different combinations such as out out in in,and run run straddle straddle. On Thursday we did the cross, and ten people were in my group. There was one person behind someone and on the other side too. The people on the outside were doing out out in in. On Friday we played a different game with jump bands, but I forgot what it's called. We were in an x form and we had to jump when they opened their legs. Every time someone jumps in the gap it's a point.  You should try out jump bands someday. Trust me they are very fun!

Morning Greeting

Featured Blogger: David

The morning greeting is when we all say a greeting in a different language every week. We pick our greetings from our relatives. Last week our greeting was "ahn-nyong-ha-se-yo". Eddie got that from his mother. His mother is from South Korea. This week’s greeter is Libby. The first day of the new greeter Ms. Sprague asks the greeter where it comes from then she points to it on the map of the world. This is how we do morning greeting in 3Sp.
