Christmas Break is here!!!!
We had a wonderful party yesterday. Thank you to the parents that helped with cooking pancakes, bringing food, and helping with our craft. We also enjoyed that afternoon "Hanka Montanna". You might have seen "her" on the news that night. The kids really went crazy. For those of you who missed it, I will be posting pictures soon. I have a camera full of pictures to get on here. I will try to get caught up during Christmas break. We have been busy. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will see you all next year! haha.

Chloe is a big sister!!



Chloe was so excited to be a big sister. She tried to get Tristan to open his eyes and look at me.
Chloe was glad to get a chance to stay at the hospital to get to know her new baby brother and sister. She was not happy when I brought her most of the work that she missed today and will miss tomorrow. They are hopefully all coming home on Wednesday.

Thanksgiving Break!
I hope you are all enjoying your Thanksgiving Break. I am in North Carolina spending the week with my sister and her kids. Coby and Sydney were glad to see me. I know you are all having fun staying at home spending time with you families, or playing your gaming systems. Most of you admitted that was what you were looking forward to most on this week off from school. I am heading back to Alabama tomorrow for the long eight hour drive back. I know Kookie will be glad to see me when I get home. She stayed home and Isabella, Amos, and Genoa took care of her. I will go ahead and say I will be out of school Wednesday for sure and maybe Tuesday. My sister is having surgery and I will be taking and picking up her kids from school and helping her with anything she needs. She plans on being able to move around more by Thursday. Her surgery is Tuesday. She told me she knew she needed me Wednesday, but she thinks her husband should be able to handle things Tuesday. Hope you are ready to work and get back into the swing of things next week. I have missed you all and can't wait to hear all about your week.

This week in Miss Hardison's class
We are working on a new story "Go-Around Dollar" In this story we learn a lot about how money is made and some neat facts about money. We are still working on subtracting with regrouping or as most parents know it as borrowing. Please work with you children at home with this. We are getting lots of practice in class, but it always helps when parents work at home on the skills as well. We are learning about adjectives in Language. You will be seeing a worksheet for homework tonight. My camera has not been working well lately so no pictures. I am hoping to get it working soon. We have a field trip Friday morning. We are heading to Huntsville around 8:30 to see "James and the Giant Peach" at the VBCC. We will be returning to school around 11:30. After that is Thanksgiving Break. YEAH! We are all excited about a week off school.

Decatur Elks Lodge
Yesterday the Decatur Elks Lodge had two members come and deliver dictionaries to the third grade students at our school. The kids were excited to get their very own dictionary. Students are keeping them in their cubbies to use at school. The class is having fun looking up words. (I wonder why they fight me on definitions)

Play
Third grade did a fabulous job on the play. We had a great turn out for the Thursday night performance. Unfortunately my camera did not save the pictures that were taken. If you have any good pictures that you could email to me I will try to post them. I was so proud of how well everyone did. Everyone knew their lines and sang the songs so well. Students were excited and nervous about being on stage. Alyssa told me she did not think that so many people would be there so she was a little nervous. All in all we are glad to have the play behind us, so that we could get things back to normal for a little bit.

We have had a busy week!
We have been so busy this past week. We have had two play practices a day, plus trying to fit in everything else (Math, Reading, Language). We have not had Science or Social Studies last week or this week due to the time put into the play. We will hopefully get back on our regular schedule next week.
We had a great time today at the play. The students really seemed to enjoy the Paper Bag Players. They got to participate in the play by answering questions and singing. We will be performing the Veteran's Day play tomorrow at 8:15 for the school and then again that evening at the PTA meeting that night. Students should arrive by 6:00 pm. All students should be in a plain red shirt and blue jeans. We look forward to seeing you there.

This Week in Third Grade

This week's spelling test and grammar test will focus on homophones. Don't forget that there will be a DOL quiz this Friday as well. The class needs to review Chapter 2 in math for their test on Friday. I will send home a study guide on Tuesday. If your child completes this and returns it on Friday, I will add 5 points to his/her test grade. This study guide is exactly what the test will look like, but with different numbers plugged in.
Tuesday is Parent/Teacher Conference Day. Students will be released at noon.
Wednesday students need to wear their new field trip shirts for our trip to Rickwood Caverns. Students need to be at school by 7:15. We will leave at 7:30 and return by 3:00 p.m.
We have a fun week ahead of us!
