Voting...

This week students have learned all about the candidates running for governor (Nikki Haley and Vincent Sheheen).  Students took notes to learn about how each candidate said they could improve our state, their education, job experiences, family, and their thoughts on education.  Students took their voting very seriously and were able to formulate their opinion about each candidate.

Walk to School Day

CFG participated in "Walk to School Day" on Friday during part of our recess.  Mrs. Long had marked off a course for us and students were given a healthy snack at the end of the day along with a bracelet.

Beans, Beans, Beans...

Students had a chance to investigate the parts of a seed this week in science class. They were able to see how germination takes place. We are currently investigating which grows faster- green beans or peas.  Stay tuned for the results.

This Just In...

CFG will be taking part in a global read aloud beginning next week. Mrs. Linkous has arranged for our class to connect with another third grade in Chicago! I can't wait to begin our read aloud and share this experience with another group of third graders. I'm sure we will learn a lot from our new friends in Chicago and that they will learn a lot from us too. Let the journey begin!!
