3rd Grade Food Drive

Today we spent most of the morning getting ready for the annual third grade food drive.  Each group is responsible for presenting, collecting and graphing food donations from a specific classroom.  Our food drive will begin on Monday, November 29th and run through Friday, December 10th.  We worked extremely hard on writing a speech to present tomorrow, a graph to keep track of the food totals and a box for collecting.  We are collecting canned and and boxed food, so please don't send anything frozen or opened.  Thanks for your support. 










We are ready to start helping and collecting!

Giving Thanks Luncheon






On Friday, November 19th we hosted a Giving Thanks Luncheon.  We invited friends and family to come and share lunch with us.  We had some really delicious beverages and food for our potluck.  We decided to make and share food that we were thankful for and might have for Thanksgiving.  We also made placemats that we shared.  They showed what we were thankful for in life.  First we thought about what we were thankful for.  We sketched it on water color paper and then painted it.  We wrote what we were thankful for on the placemat and in a story that we shared with the lunch group.  Before we performed our reading, we practiced in front of our classmates.  We had a chance to sit and have lunch with all kinds of new people in our classroom.  We had a great time and are very thankful for our fun luncheon.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
