The Skin We Live In

In keeping up with how we are a community, the Scholars discussed the different shades of our skin and how they are only a covering. We read a lot of awesome feel-good books about skin!

This was our favorite book that we read. It described skin as cocoa, mocha, almond, snow, sand, plus many more! Can you find an awesome description for your skin color?

This book talked about how our skin is just a covering and that to really know a person you have to get to know the INSIDE. We agreed! In this book we learned that skin isn't dumb, mean, smart, right, or wrong. We found that skin just holds the "you" that's inside.

We made our own faces to represent all of the shades of skin in our room. We discussed that no matter what shade we are, we have to get to know the person for what is inside them!

Community of the Scholars

Here's our awesome community! The first week of school we made a crossword, puzzle, and houses to show that we're a community. We are so proud of ourselves for being a community. We think our teachers are cool! Check out our WONDERFUL pictures!

This is one way that we show our community. We depend on each other.

This is Henry and Zach making their puzzle pieces.

Here we are working together to make the puzzle.

This is us around our puzzle.

This is our community puzzle We are interdependent because we depend on each other.

Take a look at these serious (and not so serious) scholars during the first week of school!

Look at those bright smiles!

We can already tell this is going to be SUCH a fun year! Can you figure out who has the floating leg up in the top row?

Meet the 3rd grade teachers: Ms. Gutierrez, Ms. Panzl, Miss Kochy, and Mrs. Moorman. Can you believe we all wore black and white on the first day of school? We didn't even plan it!

Game Day Party

The 403 Scholars filled the class pom-pom jar! Everyone nominated ideas for what the class reward should be and then voted. It was overwhelmingly decided that we would have a game day party! It was a huge success!
