October

We had the chance to Skype with an author. We learned about the publishing process and how authors get ideas for their stories.


Silly hair day!


Breanna shared some stories about her great-grandpa. He was in World War II.


Fun at recess!


The students made me a sign during art class.

August 25


We enjoyed our first week of school! We spent some time discussing how once we say something we can't take it back. Every time we said a mean word, we squeezed toothpaste out of a tube. Then we said nice things and tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube. We learned that we must be careful with our words.






















Our class loved the solar eclipse! 





We learned about Switzerland and tried Swiss chocolate!

Welcome to Third Grade!

I am excited for the chance to work with your children as they grow and learn this year! Third grade is full of new experiences and challenges, and I look forward to helping the students in my classroom as they strive for success in every area.

Our classroom theme this year is adventure, specifically adventures we have through reading books and traveling. Reading and traveling are two things that I am very passionate about. My hope is that through the books we read this year, and the stories we tell about our own adventures, students will be inspired to learn more about new things, different cultures, and what it looks like to be a lifelong adventurer.

In the spirit of adventure, I thought I would share some of my summer adventures with you. I look forward to hearing about the adventures your children have had this summer!



This summer I had the opportunity to spend five weeks at an orphanage in Romania. I played with the twenty children that live there and taught a couple of English classes.


Casa Dorca is located in Prilipet, Romania. Prilipet is a small village in rural Romania.





Last year's class bought water guns for the children at the orphanage. We really enjoyed our water gun fight!
