Meet Avery Claire

The kids have been asking me for weeks what we were naming the baby, so I thought I'd let them see her 4D pictures and find out her name at the same time...

Meet Avery Claire!

Christmas Party

Here's our Christmas tree, with some of our handmade ornaments on it.

We kicked off our Christmas breakfast with a singing treat from two of our classmates. Thank you, Kyleigh and Lindsey!! You did a wonderful job!!

Of course, I forgot to take a group picture, and most of the kiddos had left by the time I thought about it. I managed a couple of pictures of those who were posing for their parents.

By the time Matevious was still, we'd lost Braiden.

Now, we've lost Matevious ...but isn't this a sweet picture?!

Pajama Day

I promise it's not nap time. The TV is mounted high and they really were watching the movie!




Notice Will in the background of this one working diligently on this 'Twas the Night Before Christmas book page. I forgot to take a pic of the book that we made, but it's awesome! If you come by sometime, ask to see it!

Pajama Day

Wednesday will be 3rd grade Pajama Day @ RES. Wear your pj's and look forward to hot chocolate and The Polar Express!

Christmas Party Info

It's that time of year!!

I know some of you have been wondering about our Christmas party...look for a note in your child's binder today. Here's the info:

Ornament Day: We will be having an ornament day one day this week. We will be making three different ornaments in three different classrooms. We'll be having a classroom swap (probably Wednesday or Thursday) with two other 3rd grade teachers, and we'll make a different ornament in each class. If you could send $2 for this cause, it'd be greatly appreciated!!! This will cover the cost of supplies needed for this event~

Gift Swap Party: We will be having our gift swap party on Thursday, December 17th. I am asking that each child bring $1 gift by Tuesday, December 15th. Please don't send gifts that cost more than $1 - we'll be putting the gifts under the tree and each child will pick a gift to open.

Christmas Breakfast: We will be having Christmas Breakfast on Friday, December 18th at 8:00. Parents are invited to attend. For $1, your child will get a biscuit, milk, and juice. This money will come out of your child's lunch account, just like he or she was eating breakfast at school on a regular day. I would like to have a few other treats at our breakfast. Please let me know if you'd be willing to help out with providing those. There will be a form for you to fill out and return to me.

I know it seems like I just keep asking for $ and I know it's a not an easy time of year to keep sending money to school. It's just takes a little $ to have our Christmas fun at school! I really appreciate your help and support - I couldn't do it without you!!!!

Toyland & Gameday

THURSDAY
As I'm sure you know, the Golden Tigers will be playing in the state championship game this Thursday night at 7:00 at Bryant Denney Stadium in Tuscaloosa. Because of this awesome event, there will be some changes to our school days Thursday and Friday.

- School will dismiss Thursday at 1:00. All students must be picked up by 1:15. Please be on time to pick up your child if he or she is a car rider - we all want to head to Tuscaloosa!! If your child is a bus rider, he or she will leave around 12:40-12:45.
- There will be no T.R.A.C.K.S. or Chucky Mullins after school Thursday.
- If you plan on checking your child out Thursday, please do it before 12:00. We should be back by then.
- If your child will be going home a different way than usual Thursday, please send me a note Wednesday or Thursday and let me know how your child is getting home!
- There will be a Walk of Champions to welcome the Golden Tigers to Bryant Denney @ 5:15 Thursday. Be there to support our football team!

Davis Dominators

Today we had a little friendly multiplication competition with another 3rd grade class....

WE WON!!!!!!!!

We'll compete again tomorrow!! See why it's so important to know those facts?!

Thanksgiving Station Rotation

Since this is a short week, we're having a more relaxed station rotation.

We're working with some Thanksgiving-related words...

We're finding out what the words mean by looking them up in the dictionary.



We're practicing our cursive by writing some Thanksgiving words.



What would a short week be without some coloring?!

And what would Thanksgiving be without writing about what we're most thankful for? Look for these in your child's binder tomorrow!

Hope you have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Reading Stations

We thought we'd let you see what we've started doing during reading! We've started a station rotation during our small group reading time each day.
Here are the rules we must remember as we work each day...

When we start Stations each day, we go get our station binder. It has our books and passages that we've been reading this week in it.


This is our Skills station. Here we work with our group on our weekly skill. This week we've worked on making generalizations. Last week, we worked on drawing conclusions. Ask your child if he or she can tell you what either of these mean!!


Here's our reread station. Here, we reread a book or passage that we've read this week at our table meeting (with me, Mrs. Davis). Sometimes, we highlight words that have the weekly skill, like -ly, -ness, -ful, and -less suffixes.


At our Seatwork station, we usually work on spelling skills.

Thanks for taking an interest in what's going on in our classroom. We want you to be involved, so we like showing you what we're up to every day!

Halloween Fun

Parents, thanks so much for all of your help with the Halloween party! Thanks for sending/bringing food and thanks for pitching in and helping with the different stations! I really appreciate it and couldn't have done it without you!!
