We had an exciting field trip last Friday. 3rd Graders took a walking field trip around our very own community, Amo, IN! Students have been learning about communities in Social Studies. Our West Best secretary, Mrs. Estes, was so generous, and took our class on a walking tour through the town. Here are some interesting facts about our town:
*Amo means "love" in Latin
*Our town of Amo is the only town/city with this name in the entire U.S.
*Our post office used to be a bank
*The library used to be a train station that ran from Greencastle into Indianapolis
Our 3rd grade class loves our Writers Workshop time! Right now we are working on writing Small Moment Stories. Students are writing about real events that have happened in their lives. Friday we met with our writing buddies to conference about one of our Small Moment Stories and to also highlight the "juicy" words used in our stories. This was a wonderful time for students to interact and learn through reading one another's writing.
