Happy Holidays from Team Esprit!

We had another busy week in third grade!  We did take time for a bit of fun... with a Paint and Sip Holiday Party on Tuesday.  The children snacked on popcorn and juice boxes and painted a special holiday gift for you...their families! Very fun and festive!

Miss Niles' class finished up the week with Science Investigation with carts and wheels.  Teams of two and three created small carts and sent them down ramps, measuring how far they traveled.  Then the teams had to make adjustments to their carts to make them travel even farther.  Be sure to have your child tell you about his or her cart and how far it traveled.  We also had a Mancala Tournament!  All the children learned about to play the game Mancala and had fun challenging each other to a game today.  If you're looking for a

strategy game to have at home...Mancala is a good choice!

We hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season with your families and friends.  Here's to a new year filled with health, happiness, and love!  Happy 2017!
