Third Grade Looks Bright

There are many new faces at Legacy Oaks this year. One of those wonderful new faces is Mrs. Brooks. Mrs. Brooks teaches third grade this year. Mrs. Brooks teaches nine students and this is her first year teaching at Legacy Oaks, although she has been a teacher for a long time. Mrs. Brooks says that the best part of her job is the kids.

For the 3rd grade's holiday activities, they made butter, and Iroquoian long houses. A good incentive Mrs. Brooks thought of is the Marble Jar. To receive marble's the children have to have good behavior. For each good deed a student does, they get to put one marble in the jar. When the Marble Jar is filled about halfway they receive a party.

Mrs. Brooks commented on how the class was not doing to well in math at the beginning of the year, but recently they have started to really enjoy it and make better grades. Mrs. Brooks' goal for the year is to have as much fun as possible.

In conclusion, the third grade's year is likely to be fun filled and very educational.
