Third Grade Dioramas

 

Third graders created their own

habitats for the animal of their

choice.  They did a beautiful job

and included a food and water

source and shelter. 

Great job guys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meet George Stripinton III & Spotty McSpottypants

 
 

The newest members of the Wolfpack

are two leopard geckos.  There is

George Stripington, III and Spotty

McSpottypants.  They are getting

big and the students truly enjoy

holding them.  Their habitat resides

in a 20 gallon tank with a vine and

basking condo.  They live on the

shelf below Chip the Turtle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Third Grade Native American Home models

 
Third grade was extremely busy

building replicas of Native American

homes such as Cherokee Winter

and summer home, the long house

and Yurok plank house.  They turned

out so awesome - I am so very proud

of each and every one of them. 

Parents, thank you so much for sending

in supplies to make this wonderful

project possible.

Dear Students,
Welcome to Third Grade! My name is Mrs. Wachowiak (pronounced Va-ho-vee-ak). I hope that you are having a great summer so far. My family and I had a lot of fun and relaxed this summer. We went on vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Deep Creek, Maryland. It was really fun! Chip has had a very productive and relaxing summer too. I cannot wait to hear all about your summer too. This year is a very important year. We will cover a lot of material and learn a lot of really cool stuff. We will get some hands-on experience with a few of nature’s coolest critters. I hope that you are as excited as I am to begin the year! Enjoy the rest of your summer and I look forward to meeting everyone on August 25th. Get ready for a great year!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Wachowiak

Dear Parents.,
I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Beth Wachowiak (pronounced Va-ho-vee-ak). I taught First Grade at St. Alexis School in Wexford. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Education with a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT). I interned at Peebles Elementary School where I taught Kindergarten and Second Grade. Also, I worked for Catapult Learning as a Math Specialist doing remedial math work with students. In this job I used many math games and manipulative to help students improve their math skills and boost their confidence levels.
I am very excited to get started and meet your wonderful children. If you should have any questions or concerns throughout the year please do not hesitate to let me know. I look forward to a fun and exciting school year for everyone.

Sincerely,
Beth Anne Wachowiak
