This Week's News Brought to You by Stacie

We are lucky to have a guest blogger this week. Stacie was waiting for her sister to be done with band practice and was kind enough to help me write this post.  Take it away, Stacie!

In class we have been learning about birds.  We went for a walk around the school to see what birds we could find.  We saw crows, a blue jay, two fox sparrows getting twigs for a nest.  The best was the hummingbird.  It was on the very top of a tree. I looked away and it was gone.  We looked it up in the guide and we think it was an Anna's hummingbird.

We posted all of what we saw to the Great Backyard Bird Count.  We send the information to scientists who can use the information to understand birds all around the world. 

We are learning about how weather works and how climate change will affect animal habitats.  Today our teacher printed off vocabulary words that go with that.  We had to match the terms to the definition and an example picture.  We worked as a group and found people who had the pieces that fit with ours.

In Writing we were practicing writing our memoirs which is our memories.  We worked on thinking back and staying focused on our writing.  I was writing about my Dad's birthday on Saturday.  We went to a snow mountain and we played snow baseball with a guy who built an igloo. 

We third graders are practicing multiplication with Mrs. Zimmerman. Sometimes we do time tests.  Good bye, I'm leaving you  now.
