We are a class of third graders at Alta Vista in Los Gatos, California. Our teacher is Mrs. Mary Fran Lynch. She believes that it is important for us to have a larger audience when we write so she created this space for us to share our writing. To read our work, select the initials of the student whose work you'd like to read at the bottom of the page or in the sidebar.

If you would like to comment on any of our work, you can e-mail Mrs. Lynch at lynchm@unionsd.org . She'll add your comments to our posts.

You might also like to check the sidebar to see what we learned about snails or to see some of our math videos. You can also check out our class website to see what else we do in class.

A Wordle will take all of the words in a document, and make the words which show up more frequently larger. She thought it would be fun to see what a Wordle of this year's class might look like. Students in Room 12 filled out this Google Form:


Three Words


and created this:



Mrs. Lynch says her goal is to have the students learn while having fun. This Worlde seems to show she achieved the fun part. She says the STAR scores will tell the story of whether or not we learned what we needed to.
