Read for Peace on the News!
We were featured on the news for the MLK "Read for Peace" event. Click to watch!
Weekly Update 1/17/14
Sorry about the lack of posts! 2014 and third grade have been BUSY!
Today, a volunteer came to read a book about Martin Luther King, Jr. to our class. The kids thought a lot about Mr. King's message and what peace means. They wrote poems that will be in displayed at Missoula Public Library. ABC Montana News came in to take a quick video. Look for it tonight! I'll post a link if I can find it.
Also, Mrs. Gazdag, Dionysus' mom, brought in a pig heart and lungs. She taught the class about the the functions of these organs as she dissected.
