Writing Fair

**The following letter was sent home today.** 

We are gearing up for our 2013 writing fair at PCES.  Our theme this year is “Words from the Heart”.  Your child will be working on their fiction and nonfiction entries in class, however if your student wishes to enter a piece in the poetry division the writing will need to be completed at home.  All writings are due in class by Friday, December 6 – NO EXCEPTIONS!

Entries must follow the theme, but any form of poetry is acceptable (rhyming, acrostics, etc.).  Also, please remember that this is a student competition; all work should be authentically written by your child.  Entries can be typed or handwritten. 

We will have a classroom winner in each of the three categories.  Those entries will go on to be judged in our grade level competition, and a first, second, and third place winner will be chosen in each category.  If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  Thanks!

Learn as much by writing as by reading.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! 

And the winner is...

All of the students in our class took part in the school wide writing fair this past winter.  The theme this year was “Abracadabra: The Magic of the Pen.” Every student wrote a piece of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.  I choose a winner from each of those categories and they were submitted to our grade level fair.  The grade level winners were sent on to the district writing fair.  Each winner was recognized in a school wide ceremony where they received a t-shirt and a medal.  Congratulations to the following girls from our class!

·         Makenzie won 1^st place in poetry in our grade level.  She also won 2^nd place in our district fair.

·         Alyvia won 1^st place in fiction for our grade level.

   We are so proud of our winners!     

                                          

100th Day of School

Happy 100^th Day of School!!

Can you believe we have been in third grade for 100 days?? We only have 73 days left in third grade! Wow! This year really is going by fast!!

We celebrated being 100 days smarter by writing about what we think we will be like when we are 100 years old.  Then we made pictures of what we think we will look like when we are 100 years old.
