Partner collaboration on our vertical whiteboards! It’s always a treat when we get to use these in our classroom! @nbes220 #BuildYourHappy #UnifiedFor50

It’s crayfish time! Today we asked questions about the different structures we observed on our new crustacean friends. These eager scientists can’t wait to learn more! @nbes220 @barrington220 #BuildYourHappy #UnifiedFor50

First Mystery Reader of the year! We love having family members come read to us, and there’s nothing better than the look on a kid’s face when they realize it’s their family member! @nbes220 @NBSPTO #BuildYourHappy #UnifiedFor50

Third graders are regrouping experts! @nbes220 #BuildYourHappy #UnifiedFor50

@MrsOlsensClass @ClassDojoMojo Morning meeting activity tomorrow!

Write a time when you have made a mistake, crumble the paper and it toss it into the middle. I read them aloud and they had to stand if they have ever made the same mistake. Mistakes are ok! #herewegrow @ClassDojoMojo

We’re almost done with the 4th week of school, and these third graders are absolutely rocking it. Love this fun group of kids! @nbes220 @NBSPTO #BuildYourHappy #UnifiedFor50

Third graders love worms! We learned all about these amazing decomposers and how they help our plants grow. Thank you @mindful_waste for another fantastic field trip, and we loved experiencing it at The Wormery! @nbes220 @barrington220 #BuildYourHappy #UnifiedFor50

Favorite Morning Meeting activity so far! Rock-Paper-Scissors Battle! I love seeing how into it the kids got, yet they were such good sports! Such a fun way to start our day. @nbes220 @NBSPTO #BuildYourHappy #UnifiedFor50

My favorite part of Back-to-School Night ❤️ @nbes220 @NBSPTO #BuildYourHapoy

Third graders worked together to determine what exactly it means to Be Respectful, Responsible, and Safe in our classroom. These “Class Rules” posters will hang as a reminder all year long! @nbes220 #BuildYourHapoy

@nbes220 will be holding PE classes and afternoon recess indoors on Wednesday and Thursday due to extreme heat. Stay safe colts! #BuildYourHappy #unifiedfor50

“Save Fred” is always a Week 1 class favorite! I love seeing the teamwork and excitement that comes when they reach their goal. Great collaboration and perseverance third graders! @nbes220 #BuildYourHappy #UnifiedFor50

First day success! We love 3rd grade! @nbes220 @barrington220 #BuildYourHappy #UnifiedFor50
