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.
- We will still be going on our field trip Thursday to see Toyland. We will leave at 8:30 and return to school by 12:00 to eat lunch.
- 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!

FRIDAY
- School will begin at 9:00 because those who go to the game will have a late night Thursday. Buses will run an hour later Friday.
- There will be no breakfast served at school Friday.

All Thursday checkouts and Friday absences will be excused!!!!

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!!

We need binders!

Station Binders

We are implementing new stations in our 3rd grade classrooms, and each child needs a station binder. I would prefer a 1/2 inch to 1 inch binder (anything else is too big). Please let your child pick out any binder they want - I want them to be able to recognize it (even if we just decorate it with stickers). It doesn't have to be a plain binder.
*If you are able to buy more than one binder, it would be greatly appreciated. If you have any old binders at home that no one uses, we can use those, too. Each child needs a station binder - we can decorate them to make them our own!*
Thanks so much for your help and cooperation! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it!

Look for Halloween pics later tonight!
