Holiday Celebration

On Friday, December 21st, we had our Holiday Celebration in Pod 3.  Earlier in the week, we started the movie "Prancer" and took time on Friday to finish it.  We also played Bingo as a whole Pod!  Mrs. Yahnke is a wonderful Bingo caller and spiced up the original Bingo game by adding in "Loser Bingo", "Rhyme Bingo", "Four Corners", etc.  We had a lot of winners from our classroom (see them below)...Way to Go Third Graders!

Warriror Readers

The first Thursday of each month is a special day in our classroom!  The reason it is so special is on those days, we have members of the Winona State Football team come to our classroom to read.  We read books, Scholastic News, and more!  We love having these great role models in our room and look forward to them coming each month.  :) 

Ronald McDonald's Friendship Adventure

Last week, Ronald McDonald visited our school to talk with the boys and girls about how to be good friends and what to do if someone is bullying you. He actually did WAY more than talk with the Goodview students...Ronald sang songs for us, danced for us, did magic tricks, and taught us some VERY important information! Thank you Mrs. Woodworth for bringing Ronald to our school. :)

A Friendship Adventure

What's in your bag, Ronald?

These weren't your ordinary flowers!

Corbin & Chandler helped Ronald sing a song.

We loved singing with Ronald.

Awaiting our dinner...

We had a wonderful meal with our 2nd Grade friends.

Taking a break from eating to pose for a picture.

The 4th Grade Orchestra students entertained us while we ate.

Happy "Goodview Gathering" Day!

Happy Halloween!

To celebrate Halloween, the students in Pod 3 came together to play some games, share some Halloween treats, and watch a holiday movie.  We had blast!

Looking "SPOOK-TACULAR".

Trick-or-Treat.

It's no joke...our class has the cutest pumpkins in the patch!

BOO to You.

We played "The Great Shoe Search".

Next, put your shoes on.

Finally, tie your shoes and run back to the class.
