I would like to thank Mrs. Gretchen Grobel for coming to our class today and discussing with the entire Third Grade the importance of Recycling. Earth Day is April 22nd and we all need to do more to save our environment. Thanks Mrs. Grobel for the reusable bags and expert advice.

Sons of the American Revolution

Congratulations to Molly Butler, Maeve Irish, and Erin Conroy for being chosen as our winners in my third grade class. Mrs. Bondi and I participated in the Sons of the American Revolution Social Studies and Art contest for students in grades 3-5 in all the Delaware County schools Public and Private. A representative from the organization will come to school next week to collect the posters and then they will notify our school of the winner of the entire contest. Congratulations Ben Franklin would be proud!

The Natural History Museum

Today was an amazing day at the Natural History Museum at Drexel University! We learned so much from the dioramas and from the expert guides at the museum.

Some cool facts I learned today!

Dinosaurs do not have both teeth. They either have molars or canine teeth but not both.

A dinosaur is only labeled a dinosaur by looking at its hips.

Dinosaurs have scales or feathers.

It was so much fun and can't wait to go back in the Summer with Oliver and Vicky!

Here are some awesome pics!!!!

Keira, Drew, Ella, and Chris watch out!

The Last Supper

Last Saturday was so much fun for me watching each group come into my room in the Parish Center and reenact the Last Supper. I think your children learned something special about the Eucharist at the retreat and enjoyed themselves. I saw a lot of interest and excitement from each group that came through my station. Thank you to Sister Mary, Mrs. Pepper, Mrs. Bondi, Mrs. Maria, and all the Parents that came to support their children.

Here we go Terra Nova's

Yesterday Mrs. Bondi and I got a secret shipment of Genius Water from Harvard University. One of Mrs. Bondi's son's friends goes to Harvard and over-night delivered a shipment for us! J.K. but the kids really believed me! Anything to make it calm and relaxed during the Terra Nova's!

VR Friday and Happy St. Patty's Day

During 3rd and 4th periods my class got to experience using the virtual reality goggles. The class explored the Melbourne Museum in Australia without having to take the 20 hour flight to Australia!

Wow what fun we have in class and learned a lot at the same time.

Happy belated St. Patrick's Day

Daytona Day

Here are some pics from a couple of weeks ago. As you all know I am a huge NASCAR fan so every year to start the NASCAR season off right in school I have a Daytona 500 day in my class. Thanks to Mr. Clark Pierce from Fox Sports Go, every year my classroom gets decorated more for Daytona Day. You can see from the giant banners that hung from my ceiling. Thanks Mr. Pierce! The day is meant to infuse NASCAR and all topics in the daily schedule together. For example we made tracks and measured the speed and distance of the cars, we sang tour National Anthem in the beginning of the day, and we wrote letters to Mr. Hendrick and Jimmie Johnson. Go J.J. #48 Ally Team

Mr. Kelly and I in Dover last year and Jimmie won the race. That was his burn out behind us!

Mr. Tosti meeting Jimmie Johnson for the first time look at the smile on his face.

This years ladies of NASCAR!

Dino Day

Dino Day

I want to thank Rex's mom for coming to school last week and giving us such an awesome presentation on her experience in the field of Paleontology. Mrs. Riley brought in many different fossils and some dinosaur teeth. What a cool experience. Thanks Mrs. Riley!
