Congratulations to all third graders and their families for an exhilarating Sports Day on November 4th! Red Team was the ultimate champion this year accumulating the most points through all the events of the day.
You’ll find more photos and videos on Saint Maur’s social media.
Our young archeologists combined forces with 3T to go on an imaginative adventure digging up artifacts and exploring an ancient tomb from one of the first great civilizations on Earth – Ancient Egypt! This was the entry point for our new unit in IPC. Over the next several weeks, we will do a deep dive into the history, culture, technology, people, and geography of Egypt. This is a fascinating unit of study.
3G celebrated Halloween with the Elementary School Student Council last week. There was a special Halloween Game Show and a charity fundraiser. Students and teachers wore Halloween accessories to add a little fun to the usual school uniform. There was also plenty of candy!
Our latest Book Club is now live! You can shop online for tons of exciting books. Be sure to add “Mr. Geyer 3G” to your order so the books will be sorted properly and sent to school as soon as possible. Every order earns 20% back in rewards for classroom books at Saint Maur. Some families might consider ordering some books as holiday gifts…. Please contact me if you need help with this. Order online until November 22, 2024.
Our Shake It! unit in IPC came to a close recently. 3G embarked on several experiments and discovery activities to learn about science and technology.
After learning about several historical designs for whisks and mixers, 3rd graders attempted to plan and create their own original whisks. It seems easy at first, but students learned quickly that the wire was tricky to manipulate. However, problems were overcome and students had their own unique whisks for mixing milkshakes!
Students put their handmade whisks to work making their own milkshakes. It was a sweet, tasty treat to finish off the quarter year.
Here are a few photos from recent happenings at school.
This is how we learn about paragraphs… hamburgers!
Recently two VIP guests returned to Saint Maur for a nostalgic tour. One of our visitors was a former 3rd grade teacher and elementary principal at our school in the 1980s. They were both thrilled to witness all the action in 3G, one of the most active classes in the whole school!
Our 3G artists worked very hard in the watercolor unit this term. Their skills using watercolor paints improved, as did their ability to brainstorm, plan, and execute their artwork. These photos are from across several watercolor painting sessions.
