Hello Readers!  I, on behalf of the third grade, apologize for the absence of new posts over the past month.  February was an extremely busy month for us in the 3rd Grade.  We have been extremely busy working on our units on Charlotte's Web, Energy, Fullerton's History, The Sacraments and Division.  Posted are some poems the students created using Google Docs for the first time this past month.  The poems are based on the main characters in Charlotte's Web.

We also started a new project that we will be working on with the 4th Grade - "A Week in the Life..." Flat Classroom Project (AWL - FCP).  We will be connecting with other 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students from around the world to learn about a week in their lives as well as sharing about our lives.  We are extremely excited to start this project and will try to keep you informed of the things we learn along the way.

Below is the digital handshake we created for the AWL Flat Classroom Project.  A digital handshake is a creative way of digitally introducing yourself to someone or a group of people.  You can use a picture with a description, video, audio recording, slide show or anything else that is digital.  We hope you enjoy our video created on www.animoto.com.

Catholic Schools Week 2012

This past week ACS celebrated Catholic Schools Week. All week long the students, their families and the staff participated in activities that celebrated this year's theme: faith, academics and service. Check out summaries and pictures of the 3rd Grade celebrating throughout the week!

Catholic Schools Week 2012

We kicked off the week by celebrating our Catholic faith on Sunday at the All School Liturgy at St. Philip Benizi! Many students and families joined the rest of the Parish in celebrating Christ's teachings.

On Monday, the 3rd Grade joined in celebrating school spirit! The entire school wore the colors of the rainbow. The 3rd grade's color was blue.

On Tuesday, the 3rd Grade, along with their 8th grade buddies, celebrated service! We traveled to Terrace View Nursing Home in Fullerton to spend time and minister to the residents. We had an amazing time playing bingo and other games, reading, coloring, and painting the nails of some residents. Many students can't wait to return to spend more time with the residents.

On Wednesday, ACS students celebrated their teachers. Throughout the day, there were special events, like a delicious breakfast, for the teachers!

On Thursday, ACS celebrated the students. Throughout the day there were special activities in and outside of class! The students got a special treat at lunch of Dippin' Dots and an extended recess! Many 3rd graders wished everyday could be like Student Day!

On Friday, ACS students, their families and staff came together to celebrate families with an old fashioned picnic on the main lawn. Everyone had such a fabulous time spending time together while eating their picnic lunches.

Christmas & New Years

Dear Readers of our Blog,

I went to Las Vegas for New Years to see my best cousins. Also I had some awesome apple cider for New Years. For Christmas Eve, I went to my great-grandmas to see her and Lenard. For Christmas, my mom came to my dad's and we opened our presents. Then I went to my Mom's to open the rest of my presents with my family. I had an amazing Christmas break.

Sincerely,

Dominic

The Lord is Born Now! Rejoice!

When the Lord, Jesus, was born everyone has rejoiced and everyone was happy. The lord Jesus was born in Bethlehem with Mary his mother and Joseph his father. When Jesus was an adult, he went to the temples to teach people about the Lord. Later when Jesus was 32, he had his last supper. Afterwards, Jesus died to forgive all our sins and later on he rose from the dead.

Dominic Country

Dominic Country

I would like to introduce you to the Dominic Country. The symbols on our flag are the cross for loving kindness, the circle to represent peace, and lines to represent an important person named David for our government. My colors on my flag are red, white, blue, and orange. Red stands for loving our country, blue stands for the river that leads to the lake. White stands for the peace of our people, and orange stands for the sun and the beautiful sunset. Dominic Country is kind, peaceful, quiet, and has good food and good drinks.

My First Week of School

My first day of school was great. Because I actually was having fun doing things in the first week of school. At recess I had fun on the swings. I like cursive writing and also I had a great day today.
