Market day was a success! Students created their own items to sell for “Dutoi Dollars”. Then they got to go around and shop with the money that they earned. I was so proud of all their hard work! #thisisthird #economicslesson #oneccps @weRweaver

One of my favorite projects of the year….food trucks! Students design their own mini food trucks with menus. Then students have to walk around to each other’s food truck and make economic choices. Such a fun economics enrichment activity. 😍#thisisthird

Today we met with our kindergarten buddies! After listening to the story,“How to Catch a Gingerbread Man”…they made a gingerbread man trap with gum drops and toothpicks. They worked so well together and had great conversation. What a fun way to spend the last day before break!

I have to brag about this sweet girl’s cursive writing! We recently just learned every letter in the cursive alphabet and she has totally taken off with it. She chooses to write her stories in it and I’m just in awe how wonderful her cursive writing is already! #proudteacher
