Testing the camera

Thank you!!

I giant THANK YOU to all that donated to the materials for our class! I am so excited to be getting the camera to use here on the blog! This way, I will be able to take pictures daily and add to the blog and the students can share what they are learning about easier!

Donor's Choose!!

Hi CCATS, I want to make sure my students have the materials they need to succeed. So I've created a classroom project request at DonorsChoose.org, an award-winning charity. I'm asking for donations of any size to help my kids. For the next week, any donation you make to my project will be doubled (up to $100). If you know anyone who is passionate about education, please pass this along. Your donation will brighten my students' school year, and you'll get photos and thank yous from our class. Here's my classroom request: See What We Can Do! www.donorschoose.org/cpurdy To have your donation matched dollar for dollar, enter the match code INSPIRE on the payment screen. This awesome match offer lasts through September 23, 2013. My students and I greatly appreciate your support. Christina

3rd Grade Invention Convention!!

The 3rd Grade had a great time showing off their inventions! After weeks of studying the invention process and working through the process to come up with their own invention, the hard work payed off with the praises from students, teachers, and family!

Ready for our guests!

Classes gathered around the students to hear the presentations.

Family and students mingled around the convention.

The students really enjoyed their family coming by!

Students were excited to learn about the inventions!

 It got pretty crowded!
