Moshannon Valley Elementary School (Third Grade) - Mrs. Speerstra's Third Grade Class

Hi! We are a third grade class from Moshannon Valley Elementary School in Houtzdale, Pennsylvania. We have sixteen students in our class. We are the only third grade class that is upstairs with the older classes in our building. Our teacher’s name is Mrs. Speerstra and she is nice. In our class we have two journals, a daily journal and a reading response journal. In our reading response journal, we write about books we are reading such as Flat Stanley. We all think the book Flat Stanley is pretty funny. We like when he had to dress up as a girl and when Arthur left go of the kite string. We do character maps in third grade, and we do really hard math. We do “I wonders”, and we wonder how Stanley could breathe in the envelope and how he could walk when he was so flat. Everything is harder in third grade, but it is fun! We are so happy to be doing a book project with you!

Flat Stanley loves to eat grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, and pizza. He loves to drink cold juice with a crazy straw. He is allergic to peanut butter, cashews, and oranges. For fun, he likes to play ball, swim, and slide under doors. He is a nice, caring, and happy boy, but he becomes sad when people make fun of him. Sometimes he gets angry at his brother, Arthur, too. All in all, he is a really fun person.
