Marion Elementary Third Grade presents
May 3 & 4th 9:00 am MES Gym |
Third Grade Field Trip Memphis Botanical Gardens |
Want to know more about the setting?
Mrs. Garey's third graders did! After reading the story, The Little Painter of Sabana Grande, they wanted to know more about Panama. Mr. and Mrs. Kerst, Kersten's grandparents, knew plenty about Panama and came to share it with the class.
Mr. and Mrs. Kerst brought along 220 slides to show the students the pictures they took when they lived in Panama. The slides included sequenced pictures of ships going through the Panama Canal.
Mrs. Kerst even put on her Festival Dress from Panama as she showed the students handmade clothes and dolls from Panama. Their presentation also included posters with pictures of the flag, the Panama Canal, a map of Panama, and even currency used in Panama.

WINTER or SPRING? Will the groundhog see his shadow? Mrs. Wood’s second grade class worked hard to make the right prediction.
The class studied groundhog habitat and behavior. They also studied the weather forecast and even studied the cloud patterns. What did the class predict? The class was divided. Half of the class thought that the groundhog would see his shadow and we would have six more weeks of winter and half thought that the groundhog would not see his shadow and spring would soon be here.

The ART of winter To celebrate winter, the students in Mrs. Fogleman's third grade art class drew cardinals. After seeing each step drawn first on the
SmartBoard, the students copied each line to complete their own cardinal. They then filled in their drawing with Cray-Pas which produced a work of art with brilliant colors to brighten the dreary days of winter. Their talent never ceases to amaze everyone! |
100 days of school!!!
Mrs. Henderson’s second grade class took advantage of the occasion to celebrate the number 100. They fashioned necklaces, crowns and even glasses to practice their math skills. The highlight of the day was Manuel, who dressed up as a 100 year old man. |
CHINESE NEW YEAR - 2012 YEAR OF THE DRAGON |
|
Mrs. Burt's third grade class returned to school on January 5th and celebrated the New Year, Chinese style. Although the official Chinese New Year wasn't until January 23rd, the students dived right into Chinese culture. From learning Chinese New Year traditions to eating with chopsticks, Mrs. Burt's class had a great welcome back to school and a better understanding of the importance of diversity. |
ROCK and ROLL!! MES second grade students were treated to a "GOOD BEHAVIOR" sock hop in the gym. For more pictures, visit the PHOTO GALLERY. |
