Meet Our Third Grade Teachers

The 3th Grade Teachers Are: Ms. McWatt, Room 204 Mrs. Vega, Room 203 Mr. Bailey, Room 202 __________________________________________________________________ Science We are preparing for the Science Fair!  The areas we will be experimenting with are colors and light, plants, sound, or working with crayfish.  Mrs. Norrie, our science teacher, as well as the third grade team, have helped us develop our questions, helped us work on our experiments observations, and are assisting us in the creation of our project boards.   The SCIENCE FAIR is May 12th! Aerospace Mission Accomplished!  Mrs. Wall and  Mrs. Wallace teach our Flight Site  classes.  Thanks to them, we have completed our final week of Flight Site, with a unit titled, "Airports, Communities and You".  While there, we learned new vocabulary, how airports are designed, and how they work with the community and surrounding areas.  We even got to design our own airport!  It was awesome!

Field Trips We recently took a field trip to The Works Museum, inside the Edina Community Center.  We had a fun filled day of science and technology activities, which included making a kaleidoscope, making an Ear Harp, and of course operating all of the fun machines in the museum itself.  You can check out a VIDEO of us at The Works Museum, by clicking on the Media Player video link near the bottom of the page. BE PATIENT, it takes awhile to load. If you'd like more information on the works museum, click the logo to the left. Parents: Homework is an important part of your child's education.   It reinforces what your child is learning in school.  Please assist when possible.  Missed assignments may result in the loss of field trips, or other activities.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school.  Thank you. KIDS . . .  You can get help on your homework!  Click on the STARS to get information about the Homework Hotline.  If you call, you'll talk to St. Paul teachers and tutors who can help you with your homework.  You can also get information on which St. Paul libraries you can go to for homework help.  COOL! Classrooms: We have many more learning experiences and fun activities on the way in each classroom.  We try to create an environment that teaches not only Reading, Writing, and Arithmatic, but ALSO responsibility, independence and respect for all.  We know that with this as our philosophy, we can give you the future astronauts, engineers, pilots, teachers, etc . . .
