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!!!!
