Friday Fun Day

The third grade always looks forward to Friday. Although, it is usually a day filled with routine tests, it is also art day. Students get to draw in their Friday art pads and we generally have an art project. This week we made scarecrows to officially kick off the fall season. The students enjoy decorating the room with their creativity and are challenged and motivated by the atmoshere that they are able to create in our classroom. They especially like the the vibrant colors of fall. We always start each day with creative writing. Our creative writing for today was to write about an important thing that you have learned. The students then get to sit in the author's chair and read their writing. We found today out that sometimes the lessons we learn are not just academic skills but life skills as well that will help us to continue to make good, wise, and godly decisions. Frquently, we publish our writing and display these in the room along with our art work. The culminating activity to Friday fall days is a home game pep rally. The students look foward to making signs and various projects in order to participate in the pep rally with great third grade spirit.
