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

This week is National School Lunch Week, so we all wore our milk mustaches to lunch today to celebrate!

2nd Place Poster

We just thought you might want to see the poster that our class and Mrs. Little's class made that won 2nd place!

Every Season is Tiger Season

For homecoming, the students were asked to come up with an idea for a poster that had something to do with this year's theme - Every Season is Tiger Season. Our class and Mrs. Little's class teamed up to make our poster. The kids came up with the idea, drew the poster, colored it, and even helped laminate it!

Our poster won 2nd place - out of the whole school system!!! Way to go, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Little's classes!!!

Homecoming

School will dismiss Friday at 1:00 for Homecoming so that students can attend the Homecoming parade.

If your child will be leaving school via a different mode of transportation Friday, please send me a note Thursday or Friday to let me know how your child is getting home!

The Golden Tigers will play the J.O. Johnson Jaguars Friday night at 7:00.

Future Golden Tiger Cheerleaders

Maggie and Yaneli went to Mini Cheer Camp last week and performed at the game Friday night!

Go Golden Tigers! We can't wait to see you girls cheering on the field every Friday night!

Grandparent's Day Celebration

We celebrated Grandparent's Day at RES today. We had many grandparents and grand-friends join us to celebrate! We loved having them and hope they come back to visit anytime!!

Here's our tribute to our grandparents:

We recited a poem and sang a song that we've been practicing for our grandparents.

We interviewed our grandparents and learned about things from when they were younger.

We also worked with our grandparents to draw a picture of something we like to do together. We hung it in the hall on our Grandparent's Day Quilted Memories quilt.

Thanks for coming, grandparents and grand-friends! We enjoyed our time with you and welcome you back anytime!!
