Open House

We look forward to Open House as a way to involve our families in what's going on in 3rd grade. Each student works hard to prepare their best work to show off to their families. We put together a scavenger hunt to help families navigate around the classroom and make sure to see everything! The kids LOVED being "tour guides"!


Our desks became our "art galleries" for Open House night. I was so impressed at the pride the kids took in displaying their work.

My favorite stop on the scavenger hunt was the opportunity to check out our new classroom website! Hooray! We are proud to share our class with families through the power of technology. Students taught their parents how to navigate the site and find links to all of our cool projects from earlier this year. Keep checking the web from home!

The "mini people" that go with our bio poems were displayed on the white board. Can you guess which one is your child? Estimate the number of chocolates in the jar and win all of the tasty treats! Kids taught their parents how to make hypotheses and use estimation in this fun family activity. It was neat to watch families work together to make a smart guess. Congratulations to the Delgadillo Family and the Wilson Family who were our winners!

Thank you to all of the families who participated in our Open House. We loved having visitors in our classroom. You are always welcome!
