Wonderful Wreaths and many holiday moments!

After Thanksgiving, the winter holidays begin! We do so many fun things in preparation for Santa.  We put on a program for the school and parents called a "Holiday Moosical", and we made our famous 3rd grade wreaths that are decorating the hallway so beautifully.  We even experienced what it was like to play with dreidels...we didn't have pennies but pattern blocks worked just as well. Enjoy our slideshow of events!

So much to be thankful for!

So it's been awhile since we've posted any blogs and we've done quite a bit.  Before we left for our Thanksgiving break we celebrated with a fantastic feast. Here are some pictures...not quite like the Pilgrims and Indians, but we had a good time.



Super Spellers!!!

Today was our in class spelling bee.  The contestants and the audience members were so excited to participate and cheer their classmates on.  Here are a few pictures of our contestants.....



We had sooo many brave kiddos participate, but unfortunately we could only have two winners per class.  Mrs. Davidson's winners are.....

Kaden and Beverly!!!

Mrs. McKenzie's winners are......

Elizabeth and Francis!!!

Mrs. McKenzie and Mrs. Davidson wish our super spelling dawgs and mutts the best of luck at the school wide spelling bee on December 15th!!







Red Ribbon Week Oct. 25 - Oct. 29

This week was also Red Ribbon Week and we were proud to show that we are drug free!!! We tried our best to capture everyday...however Wednesday we worked so hard we forgot to capture our cowgirls and cowboys...Friday was so much fun that we got caught up in the festivities. 

America says "NO" to drugs so we wore red, white and blue!

We'll follow our dreams, and won't do drugs so we wore our PJ's!

                
                 We know we're cool, but we wore our "shades" to shade out drugs!

It's gross...it's disgusting..it's GOO YUCK!

Create a picture slideshow

On Friday, the kids declared Mrs. McKenzie the BEST teacher ever!!! They conducted a science experiment to decide if their "Goo Yuck" was a solid or a liquid.  However we can't decide if they had more fun discovering or getting dirty!! We think the pictures prove just how much they enjoyed the experiment.

What royalty!!!

The past couple of weeks during Storytime we added a few more Kings, Queens, Princesses, and Princes to our royal roster. :o)

King Noah

King Francis

King Kaden

Princess Shelby

Lookin' Good!

Since we all had our snazzy new t-shirts on today, we decided to snap a few photos of our good lookin' crew! Here are the Mutts and Dawgs together....

Mrs. McKenzie's crew looks good in red...don't ya think?



We think the charcoal shirts look just dandy!

Of course we can't take pictures without getting a little silly...so take a look!

October already?!?! How did that happen!!

August has come and gone...September flew through...now October is here! Wow!! This school year is blowin' through, but we haven't noticed since we're making new friends, learning lots, and loving life in "the pound". Today in Language Arts, we got to do the unthinkable....we drew ALL OVER OUR DESKS! Don't worry...we wiped it clean, but not before learning all about long e! Check it out!!

Story time @ the Library

What a great first couple of weeks at school! These kids are truly amazing!! During the last two weeks our classes had story time.  In third grade, Mrs. Williamson chooses a student to help with the start of story time.  They magically become a Queen, King, Princess, or Prince.  Check out our Queen Caitlin and Princess Elizabeth.....

We think royalty suits them well!!  Next Friday, Sept. 17th your child will be bringing home a star shaped posterboard.  We'd like them to put pictures, words, drawings or anything about them on their poster.  It will be due on Friday, October 1st.  Here are our stars....

3rd Grade Scientists!

Our 3rd graders have been doing a great job conducting experiments!  We have learned that Lays regular chips have more fat than Lays baked chips.  (Bad news for those of us who love regular potato chips!)  We have also "observed" that a lot more drops of water will fit on the head of a penny than we "predicted"!  The kids are learning to go through all of the steps of "The Scientific Method" when conducting an experiment.  We will continue our experiments next week and will work on "Classifying"! 

What a week...a super fantastic week!!

Where do we start?!?!? It was such a great 1st week of school! Mrs. McKenzie and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know everyone and eagerly look forward to the memories we'll make.  We hope that you are as excited as we are about this coming school year! Today while you (our Mutts and Dawgs) were at specials, we took a 3rd grade team photo as well as partner photos.  Here is mine and Mrs. McKenzie's....

Yes...I am upside down!! :o) So I guess our little Mutts and Dawgs can expect some fun things this school year.  Have a wonderful, restful weekend and we'll see you on Monday!
