💙Together we arE stronger❤️

Social distancing hasn’t stopped us from learning in the classroom! Chapel looks a little different this year, but we are still being fed God’s word virtually on Tuesday mornings and each day in the classroom through our Daily Devotions.
*This year I chose “punch cards” for positive reinforcements. After 10 punches, students get to choose from a list of rewards….show and tell has been a hit so far!
*Our school community helped with the Hurricane Laura relief. 3rd graders helped gather all donations from all ends of our campus and help me load the items. My husband and I took the donations to Southwest Louisiana and helped supply over 120 families with needed items and food!

social distancing And still Learning:)

We didn’t know with the last hug and high five that it would be for more than just the weekend, but I am so very thankful for technology that has allowed us to stay connected each day.

With our distance learning plans, thus far, 3rd graders have completed a Math module (unit of study) about Data & Measurement, read a book and filmed a “book talk”, studied Ecosystems & Food chains, and much more!

In addition to assigned school work, these rockstar 3rd graders have been busy sharpening skills in their favorite hobbies! Enjoy the pictures!! Photo credits to the parents and grandparents :)

December Memories

Although December is the busiest month of the year, claimed by most, it is also the best! We participated in programs, parties, and maintained our daily schedule. Through our daily class devotions, we are given many opportunities to reflect on the holiday season. 1st-8th graders performed beautiful hymnals and read Lessons through scripture during Candlelight. The program is a traditional and beautiful service, taken place downtown at St. James church, and really sets a joyful tone for Christmas!

I adore this sweet class. They all did wonderful and looked sharp!

DIY String Art Gifts

This was my favorite DIY project by far!! Mrs. Denise, helped us with sanding, staining, and using a hammer! The students worked very hard on their gifts and worked each day with diligence. This pictures are over a span of 2 weeks! Such a special gift!

hello, OCTOBER.

Mixtures….Do Oil and Water Mix??

Through our newly adopted Science curriculum, StemScopes, students are given many hands-on opportunities to explore the concepts being taught!

The Monsters of 17 Murray Lane….
This narrative writing project asked students to write about the first time they met the monster that lived in his/her bedroom at 17 Murray Lane (a fictitious address). Students went through the entire writing process, from gathering ideas and brainstorming, to writing the rough copy, and finally the publishing step!

Oct. 30th- National Candy Corn Day

On October 30th, the country celebrates its favorite vegetable with National Candy Corn Day. In 3rd grade, we celebrated with a fun STEM activity. The Candy Corn Tower Challenge sparked excitement as each group planned a design for the tallest tower! Upon completion, students wrote a reflection and drew a picture of their final product.

Fun Fact: According to the National Confectioners Association, various candy companies and candy makers will produce nearly 35 million pounds of corny candy this year!
