Merry Christmas

This is the view from my desk today....isn't it lovely?

Here's our classroom tree.

Here are our "Countdown to Christmas Break" lights. See - there's only one more to light up?!!?!?!

We've had pajama day today. We've watched movies, played games, and honed our artistic abilities.

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We'll see you in January!

Multiplication Tournament

We're getting ready to compete in a multiplication tournament Monday! We're practicing our flashcards this afternoon so we'll be ready!!

Flashcards will be coming home this weekend - PRACTICE!!!!

Halloween Party

There She Is...Miss Alabama

The 3rd grade teachers dressed up today as Miss Alabama from a year that we were in college. We decided to wear our "casual wear," considered we do walk about 2 miles every day and we are hosting Halloween parties in our classrooms today!

A Look at Stations

Each day during our reading time, our reading groups visit reading stations. Ask your child to tell you about what his or her group does at each station.

Just thought you might like a quick peak into life during reading:

Here's the reread station:

And the skills station:

And the spelling station:

And the listening station:

Reread again...

As I look back at these pictures, I realize I must have taken them on a Tuesday, when some of our class leaves for other things! I'll have to take station pictures again when everyone is in the room!

National School Lunch Week
