Fountains, Riley, Badges and Sweet Potatoes

Let's see... what has been going on in Room 205?  A LOT!!  Last week we had our third grade music program, "Fall Harvest."  All the third graders did a fabulous job singing, dancing and playing instruments.  We couldn't get the songs about sweet potatoes and pumpkins out of our head.  What a great show!  Also, our class has been studying about James Whitcomb Riley and his writing.  Some of our favorite poems were The Raggedy Man and Little Orphant Annie.  We love how Mr. Riley wrote how the people talked.

This past week we had a visit by one of the local police officers.  He read a great book to us called, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.  The book was interesting and the officer was really funny.  He talked to us about his job, too.  Finally, we had our first Scientist of the Week experiment.  V.  decided to show us what happens when you combine Diet Coke and Mentos.  The picture says it all!  Good thing we did this experiment outside!

Fall Break is coming up soon and we are all looking forward to some much needed rest.  Keep visiting our blog as we share more happenings from our classroom!
