Mrs. Hiestand's Third Grade

On Thursday, we passed around Oreo cookies and wrote about the experience. On Friday, we had an Oreo stacking contest in our classroom. It was so much fun! Ian stacked 26 Oreos! That was more than anyone in our class. On the computer, Mrs. Hiestand told us that an average 3rd grader could stack 18 Oreos. That means Ian is above average! We learned that the world record for Oreo stacking was 80 Oreos. We made a pictograph to show how many Oreos we stacked. Our class average was 19 Oreos. We also ate some delicious, scrumptious Oreos after we were done stacking. We had milk to dunk our Oreos in. Yummy! The next week, we made sculptures out of Oreos. Look below for pictures of Oreo-palooza!

On Monday, our class celebrated Talk Like a Pirate Day! We made eye patches and practiced our pirate speak all day. It was tons of fun! We even did an experiment with our eye patches and learned about how our eyes work. Luckily none of us had to walk the plank!

This year we are lucky to be buddies with Miss Justak’s first grade class. We had a wonderful time reading and playing outside with them on Friday! We can’t wait for all of the great activities we will do together throughout the year.

We are going to have a fantastic year! Please check this website often. It will be updated with news from our classroom and reminders about important events. I’m looking forward to seeing you and your families at the Open House on Wednesday (6-7pm)!
