Third grade students will be participating in the Pima Butte spelling bee this year! Each third grade class will have two representatives for the school spelling bee on Wednesday, December 19th.  We will be sending home the third and fourth grade study list for students.  After the representatives have been named for both third grade classes, those students will have additional lists to study for the school wide competition.  Good Luck!

Turkey Disguise Project

The internet is a wonderful world of resources! We have found our next family project that will be to disguise a turkey. Help disguise your turkey to make it safely through Thanksgiving! Turkeys that have made it through in the past have been dressed like ballerinas, football players, farmers, hula dancers, Elvis, etc.  If you need additional ideas, just Google images for turkey disguises.  Please read the attached letter and rubric on grading.  Final projects are due on Tuesday, November 13th.


Mrs. Oliver and Ms. Palmer have shared their turkey's for an example. Can you guess which turkey belongs to Mrs. Oliver and Ms. Palmer?

Thank you for your support!
Ms. Palmer and Mrs. Oliver
