SVN's Family Movie Night!

At SVN our P.A.C. (Parent Advisory Counsel) sponsors a monthly Family Movie Night.  They choose a family friendly film to show in the gym and sell popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, and provide water.  Each month third grade looks forward to this night. 

This month the P.A.C. showed the film, Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2.  Take a moment to look at our pictures from the night.

Let's Interview the 8th Grade!

Today the third grade interviewed the 8th grade about their upcoming trip to Washington D.C. Each year 8th grade takes a trip together. This year they are going to Washington D.C. For many students this will be their first time to Washington D.C. and their first time flying.

Aldo, Alexander, Ryan, and Julian researched the places 8th grade are planning to go and they created interview questions. Later they asked to interview the 8th grade class. Take a moment to view their interviews.

8th grade also has a blog.  They will be blogging about their upcoming  trip to Washington D.C.  You can find their blog at this address: www.svnmiddleschoolblog.blogspot.com 

This Week's Feature Bloggers: Alexander and Aldo

This week Alexander and Aldo are the third grade bloggers of the week.  They decided to write about what they had learned in P.E. this week.

This week in PE we learned that we need to exercise every day to get our body heated up.

Taking away Ms. Reeder’s Gatorade bottle from her and making her chase us is good exercise.  And running away from girls is good exercise too.

Scooters!

Bean bags on my head!

Hopping

Yeah!

Art is Everywhere!

This past month SVN welcomed Ms. Brianne Teevan-Bongiovanni from Bambini Creativi an Early Learning Educational Project. Ms. B used to come to our school every Friday and work with Mr. Nick's pre-k class. She created many different art activities on Friday and invited everyone to participate including third grade.

This semester Ms. B joins SVN's team as an additional resource teacher for classrooms who are working on different projects.. Third grade is planning a project with her in April.

Welcome Ms. B!

Read Across America Day!

Wednesday, March 2 was Read Across America Day.  At SVN many classrooms celebrated the day by reading Dr. Seuss books, making green eggs and ham, and creating Dr. Seuss style hats and illustrations.  Every student at SVN also received a brand new book.

Third grade decided to document this exciting day by creating a movie.  Take a moment to view their film.

18th and Vine Museum

This week's feature blogger is Alejandra. Alejandra has chosen to write about our class field trip to the Negro League Baseball Museum and the American Jazz Museum.

On Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011 the 3rd and 4th grade went to 18th and Vine for a fieldtrip. We went to the American Jazz Museum and the Negro League Baseball Museum. We learned a lot! We learned that Jackie Robinson was the first African American baseball player to play in the Major Leagues. We also learned that Ella Fitzgerald is Ms. Reeder’s favorite singer.

We had lots of fun. It was the best day ever!
