Try and find Whitney in the picture. Third grade does a play on American history and it was amazing. They practiced for months; I know because I heard the songs over and over.
This is a bad picture but it shows the four suffragettes together. Each suffragette had a speaking part and a two line solo in America the Beautiful. I thought Whitney would be nervous about her part but she did great.
Standing with her friend, and fellow suffragette, to hand out programs to people as they walked it. So it was a great play and I'm glad they were all able to learn so much about our history.
This picture is hard to tell but Whitney hit the 1 million AR word level this year. So she read and passed tests on 1 million words. She got to pick a prize - a book, of course - and go to a pizza party.
Another big third grade project is the animal zoo. Each kid gets to pick an animal and they make a habitat for that animal. Whitney picked the red kangaroo from Australia. It took several attempts to make this kangaroo but the salt dough ended up working out.
She had to make a powerpoint and give a presentation to her class. She looked all professional up there with her microphone. She currently wants to be a third grade teacher when she grows up. So good job Whitney with all your big projects.
And Whitney and Rachel were two of the only five kids who were at school everyday this year. They got a certificate and a big bag of skittles and a swim pass. Good work girls.
Anyway, we finished school strong. In a few days, I will put up pictures from Megan's Kindergarten graduation.
