We've got A LOT to catch up on!

Students and Families,

 

Wow, we have been so busy and Campbell's Den has missed some important, exciting events.  So let's get caught up on all of the fun and educational opportunities that have taken place in the months of March and April. 

 

First, after reading the novel "Stone Fox," we had a special visitor bring dog sled equipment for us to see what Little Willy used or what mushers use in the annual Iditarod race.  The sleds went really fast on the grass.  Can you imagine how fast they would go on snow and with real sled dogs pulling them (not students)? 




We have also had students buy a "Show and Tell" ticket from the Campbell Store.  Kamryn and Lucy brought in something special to share with the class.  What do you think about their special animals? 


 

March in the classroom has also showcased some very important STARS.  These STARS are chosen by their classmates for showing character traits in the classroom, on the playground, and all over the school.  We are proud of all of you!  Thank you for being a STAR * * *



All of 3rd Grade had a special visit from Representative Greg Smith.  Representative talked to students about laws and how they are made.  Students enjoyed his presentation and we were very thankful he took time out of his busy schedule to help enhance our education.

~Our Stars~

Star Students are chosen by classmates.  Students secretively email me a name of one student each week that they believe show characteristics of STAR Students. Some things we look for are: respect, kindness, support, caring, helpful, thoughtful, understanding and many more! 

Happy Birthday to You Ashlynn

Enjoy everyday of being 9! 

"Whoooo" ate that for dinner?

During Creative Arts Fridays, our class got to dissect Owl pellets with Mr. Maloy.  What an experience! Please ask your child to tell you all about their discoveries.  




 

Happy Birthday Damon and Landon!

A pinch to grow an inch, a sock to grow a block...

Happy, Happy Birthday Brandon~

May your next year be filled with smiles!

Happy President's Day!

 

In Room 4, we have been watching videos from "Kid President" that teach us about character.  It has inspired our classroom to choose "STARS" of the week.  These students are chosen by their classmates.  It is an experience that is very humbling, watching eight and nine year-olds carefully select a student that they feel is a "STAR" to others. 

The process of selecting our STARS is confidential (private).  Each student emails me a name and a reason why they have selected that classmate to be the STAR of the week.  Some things we look for are:

*honest                   *respect                     *fair
 
*generous          *inspirational         *giving           *helpful       *caring
 
*friendly       *thoughtful       *kind
