Merry Christmas Caroling!

We truly lucked out today with the weather and had a great time Christmas caroling in Elizabeth.  We started out at the nursing home and assisted living, and then headed to Hoskins.  Check out the photos below to see if you can tell where else we went!  Then we had a fun Christmas party after lunch. Thank you so very much for the sweet notes, cards, and gifts.  I so appreciate your thoughtfulness, and hope your child liked their gifts too! Wishing everyone the most wonderful of holidays.....see you in 2015!

Geronimo Stilton Novel Groups

The third graders have done an amazing job these last two weeks as we've broken up into 3 groups and read 3 Christmas novels by Geronimo Stilton.  Here are a few photos of my group working hard! Ask your third grader if they remember who the author of the Geronimo Stilton novels really is...

A Huge Thanks for your Generosity!

Our third grade Christmas project of donating to Operation Shoebox was a huge success!!! Thank you so very much for your generous contributions to this worthy cause. We'll be mailing four stuffed boxes of items to Operation Shoebox to be distributed to service members around the world. Our total was 331 items!  Wow!!! Thanks so much for helping us share the the joy of giving with the third graders!!!!

Fun at our Christmas Concert!

Thanks so much to all who attended our Christmas concert last night!  The third graders loved performing for you and were excited to find familiar faces in the crowd.  Merry Christmas to all!!!

Our Elves Have Been Busy!!

The elves in third grade have been super busy with tons of Christmas projects!  

50 Brownie Points = Cozy Read & Feed

The third graders earned 50 Brownie Points this week!!!!  Their reward was to have a "Read and Feed" party today! Cozy reading on this dreary day helped the third graders make progress toward their AR reading goals...don't forget that the semester ends on January 8th!

Gingerbread Houses!

Today was the sweetest day in third grade! It was the annual gingerbread house construction day in art class, and boy, was it yummy!

You'd Better Watch Out...

There's a new elf in town...and he's keeping an eye on the third and fourth graders! I'm sure he's reporting in to Santa, so you'd better be good for goodness sake!
