Nora Teaches Bracelet Making!

Nora brought in her bracelet making kit and 
taught third graders how to make bracelets. 
Thanks, Nora, for teaching and for sharing

What We Now Know About Australia!

about Australia and placed the sticky notes on the 
labeled posters.  This created a very colorful visual of 
what third graders now know about Australia! 
Lots of great, new learning!

Post Show Time!

Watching the video of the performance!

Then it was time to begin the cleanup!  Third graders took and 
met the challenge of cleaning up the room, putting away all props,
clothing, etc. without talking at all.  They could only communicate
by using hand signs or writing down what they wanted.  Third 
graders signed and wrote like crazy!  They stuck
with this for an entire 45 minutes - and the room was clean!
(Some of us had to put a piece of masking tape over our
lips in order to remember not to talk!  :-)







Once the room was taken care of, third graders had the opportunity
to have choice time and relax indoors or out!
