Chick-it-out 2014

Well we have had another successful year of chick-it-out.  Between the two classes and 24 eggs, we had 15 baby chicks hatch.  That is amazing!  What's even more amazing is that the students were able to watch some of our chicks hatching live on the smartboard!  We placed our document camera inside the incubator so they could see the babies hatch in real time. It was very cool.  Ask your child about their experience with chick-it-out and enjoy our slideshow below!

Music Program

Wednesday our third, fourth, and fifth graders performed for parents in an American themed music program. The entire program gave me goose bumps it was so beautiful. Here is a recording of one of the songs, "American Tears."

Arbor Day

Irving third grade was chosen this year by the Bloomington Beautification Committee to receive a Tulip Poplar Tree that was planted on the Irving School property.  Our students performed a reader's theatre and poem for several committee members, Mrs. Lammers, Dr. Reilly, and the Mayor of Bloomington Terry Renner.  It was a beautiful day and the students enjoyed it very much.  Each student was given a sapling to plant somewhere in honor of Arbor Day!  Enjoy the photos and video of our new tree being planted!

Brand New Dictionaries!

Thanks to the Rotary Club, our third grade students were gifted with brand new dictionaries they can call their own. We will use these dictionaries for the rest of the school year and then they can take them home to use forever! Thank you Rotary Club!!!!!
