The Animal Fair (clap clap)

The entire third grade team has been working on the annual spring third grade program, the lovely and entertaining Animal Fair. The kids memorized an incredible amount of oh-so-cute songs and I wish I had videoed them all since they're were so catchy (especially a rendition of Ice Ice Baby about the Artic)!  Grandma Lynn came out to enjoy the program with us, and we're happy to report there was no puke-a-rama, unlike the unforgettable Patriotic program in first grade.

Each third grade class has been studying specific eco-systems and Dylan's class focused on the ocean.  His particular animal was the Parrot Fish, and he completely a multi-media presentation about it.  Some of the kids also incorporated QR Codes into their presentation, so parents could scan with smartphones and instantly see their childs' presentation on You Tube.  Pretty cool, when you consider all of my school reports were comprised of what I could find in World Book encyclopedias and microfiche.

Dylan's class wore blue shirts, of course.  Sadly, the video upload of Dylan's class song/dance routine is giving me problems, the file might  just be too large.  I'll keep trying, but here are the photos and his multi-media presentation at least.

Here is Dylan's multi-media presentation on the Parrot Fish

Third grade has been Dylan's best school year yet, for lots of reasons.  Great teacher, really structured classroom, and the kids in his class are very kind to each other.  He brings home top scores on almost of of his work, and he just looks forward to school every single day.  Its been so great to watch him really enjoy himself more than ever, and just thrive at school.  I can hardly believe he only has two more years until 6th grade middle school.  Where does the time go?
