The Holton Optimist Club came to the 3rd grade classrooms on Monday, September 29, 2008, and provided each student with a dictionary. Students will now have their own dictionary to use at their desk. 3rd grade students demonstrated their ability to look up words using their new dictionary.

Tell me one way you plan to use your dictionary this year.

A Great Day Was Had by All!

On September 12, 2008, our class invited their Grandparents to our classroom for a celebration. Students worked very hard to prepare for this special day by writing and mailing invitations, making a gift, writing thank-you notes, and preparing some special songs to sing. A big thank-you to Ms. Forsberg for helping with the music. The 3rd graders ate lunch with their Grandparents, showed their technology skills, and enjoyed spending the afternoon with their Grandparents. One of the first activities that students and Grandparents alike completed was an interview about their lives as children. I want each student to give 2 ways your childhood is the same as your Grandparents and 2 ways your childhood is different from your Grandparents. Use complete sentences.
