School is winding down part #2

Garrett has done great in math, it is one of his favorite subjects. At the beginning of the year he seemed to struggle with reading suddenly, which was new for him, but since that first report card he made and kept a goal to get to a certain reading level and he has even surpassed it now! His teacher this year Ms.LeBeau had come from teaching 6th grade to 3rd and she has been a lot of fun. Since he can get a little restless and rambunctious she is quick to point out his good points too. For instance, how enthusiastic he is and that it is contagious. The only thing he seems to struggle with is tests, even when he knows the information, I think its that restlessness that makes it hard to concentrate and sit still.
He doesn't have as many close friends this year, but it sounds like all the boys get a long well and they like to play kickball, football and basketball at recess. Oh yes.... and we can't for get the kendamas!
Fun things in 3rd Grade:

 

Career day!

The kids got to choose from a list of jobs and come to school dressed as those type of workers. They were given a monthly pay check and then had to go about to the different stations and decide how to spend their money. I got to volunteer at the "fun" table. It was funny to see how many kids waited until the end to go to the housing table!! Ha!

Can you guess what Garrett's profession was?

Truck Driver

 

Grandparent's Day

Grandpa Blain & Grandma Sheri came down to spend that time with him.

They had interview questions for their grandparents

 

 

 

Did an art project

Read a book

(And Played Games, thought I didn't get the pictures of that.)

 

Choir

 

 

He chose this year to participate in the school choir. He only stayed for the fall session, but I was proud of his hard work and his cute performances.

This was his cool valentines box that he made... and by "he made" I mean that mostly dad made.

 

3rd Grade History Wax Museum

They could choose anyone from history and he chose Theodore Roosevelt!

He did a written report, a book, and then prepared a 30 second speech about "Teddy" and dressed up like him for school.

 

They made a "button" then They were to choose a pose and parents and other classes from school came and when his button was pushed he recited his speech. It was so fun. He was really excited about it and he learned a lot about our 26th president, even things he taught me!

 

 

Now all we have left is his field trip (which early date had been cancelled due to weather) and the science fair! This last month is going to be a great one!
Then what will I do with a 4th grader????
