This is Halloween!

10/31/2018

We had a jammed packed day with so many fun (and some educational ;~) activities.

Our morning started with Fall Fest!

We then did some making words activities from Laura Candler. They did well trying to find 3 letter, 4 letter, 5 letter, 6 letter, and even 7 letter words.

For Math in the afternoon, we used the associative property of addition to create some "Monsters." We used some tri dice dies to roll a number sentence. We placed parentheses where we needed to, and then added. We had to create a monster based upon our findings. Lots of heads and eyes and body parts!

And finally, the big moment, the Halloween parade!

The students had some terrific costumes this year with tacos, skeletons, wizards, unicorns, dinos, and a really creepy clown.

Happy Halloween everyone, stay safe!

Hello there!
Welcome to Flying With the Frogs...a website highlighting all the wonderful activities that we do in third grade at Indian Trail Elementary School.

I have been teaching for 25 (!!!) years. You can say that I am a well-rounded teacher, as I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. I have had the awesome opportunity to teach gifted students as well as ELL and special needs students.

I am an award winning teacher! I have the honor of being a 2016 state of Illinois Those Who Excel, Teacher of the Year finalist. I am in the top ten teachers in the state of Illinois!

I am passionate about teaching. I love to engage my students in a variety of differentiated activities and love to share them here with you!
