Grade Three Gazette

This Week's "Grade Three Gazette"

Throughout history Americans have been saying “Yes, We Can!” whenever they faced great adversity.  This timeline displays four major events in America’s history – The American Revolutionary War, The Civil War, The Great Depression and The Civil Rights Movement.  (The base of the timeline is a quote of Barack Obama which states: Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.)

Last Week's "Grade Three Gazette"

Our friendly third graders have acquired four new comrades: Ben, Alisha, Isabel and Mady. They are seventh graders from Abington Friends School who came by for a visit last week. Together they discussed the characters, places, events and symbols in The Neverending Story. I am pleased to say that the seventh graders have become as enchanted with the story as we are!

Speaking of The Neverending Story I have some big news: we are nearly done with the first half of the book!
