BABY Laptops!
Today we used out baby laptops for the first time. Students did a fantastic job remembering how to log in and navigate around their desktop. I was so proud of everyone. We are excited to be able to use the laptops daily in our classroom!

Oh...how we LOVE to write!
We have been working in our Writer's Notebooks the first week of school on creating lists, Quickwrites, Story Starters, and collecting Artifacts. Our 3rd grade class especially loved sharing all their special Artifacts (which are items that represent US!) they brought in. Our Writer's Notebooks are a place to collect all of our creative ideas for writing. So whenever a student says to Mrs. Egli, "I don't know what to write about...", she can have them turn to their Notebooks where they have thought of countless ideas!

Off We Go....
We have had a wonderful first week of school. Our 3rd grade class has formed our Class Constitution, started organizing and making lists in our Writer's Notebooks, and even have had Dr. Egli come visit our classroom several times! Dr. Egli has taught us a fun way to remember the steps of the Scientific Method :) It has been amazing to see the students' imaginations shine through during Writers Workshop time---it's one of my favorite parts of the day!

New Beginnings...
Welcome to our 3rd Grade Class Blog! I am so excited to start a new school year and meet all the new 3rd graders. I hope that this blog will be a fun way to inform you of what we are learning in our classroom.
I am really looking forward to working at Mill Creek West Elementary! Everyone has been so helpful and kind. This school truly is a wonderful environment with motivated teachers.
Hopefully, you will visit our class site often to see what amazing things we are learning!
