Getting the Chance to Share

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

Every five to six weeks in Mrs. Beth Knudsen's third grade class, the students get the chance to share a big writing project that they worked on for two weeks.  They go through the whole writing process--prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing--and then they are given the opportunity to share with the class and any parents who are able to attend.  On January 31, 2014, students shared their autobiographical stories.

Why Being Safe is Important...and Not Just on a Bike!

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

On January 13, 2014, the students and staff at Barnett Elementary were favored with an assembly put on by Rich Wieber and his associates, Justin and Eric.  They are a bike stunt group that hails from Minnesota and they tour all over the country.  In addition to demonstrating how to make sure a bike is safe to ride and how to check for a perfectly sized helmet, Wieber and company explained how to be safe in life. They talked about how if you want to reach your goals, you need to practice a lot and be prepared for the progress to be slow.

January Reading Assembly

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

During the second week of January,  students who had turned in their reading calendars for September, October, November, and December were given the opportunity to make baskets for cash.  Students names were drawn out of a box in both the lower and upper grades, with students having the option of letting a teacher of their choice help them to make baskets when it got too difficult.
