The New Third Graders...

I will be teaching a group of new third grade students next year. I don't know these new kids very well yet, and I am worried that they will be too talkative and crazy! I have seen these students in the hallway and sometimes, they are loud and pesky like Caleb in Sarah, Plain and Tall. One time, one of them growled at me like a lion...for no reason at all!

To solve this problem, I will set expectations with my new students on the first day of school next year. For example, I will read aloud books that show good and bad examples of how to work and be respectful at school. Additionally, my students and I will create lists of expectations we all must follow in our classroom. On top of that, we will have discussions about the type of classroom community we want to have and figure out how we should treat each other to learn, be safe, and feel great about each day we spend together. Even if my new students next year are loud or wild, setting expectations from Day #1 will help make sure we have a great school year together.

Las Vegas

My favorite place that I went this summer was Las Vegas, Nevada. We stayed in a fancy hotel that looked like an Egyptian pyramid.

If you go downstairs at your hotel, you may hear the splashing from the large pool. Since the airport is so close, you may hear airplanes and helicopters flying by all the time. That is why I loved traveling to Las Vegas this summer.

My Christmas Break Plans

I have so many plans during our two-week Christmas break. First off, you should know that my daughter just had her tonsils and adenoids removed. Therefore, we will not travel to see family like we have in previous years. She needs to rest and recover from her surgery at home and not be around many other people who could potentially spread germs and get her sick. Since we are staying home, we will try to do as many fun Christmas activities at home as possible. We will watch classic Christmas movies such as Christmas Vacation  and Home Alone . My daughter and I will put cookies and milk out for Santa on a special plate on Christmas Eve. Finally, we will open gifts on Christmas day and listen to carols on our Alexa devices. If my daughter heals up on time, we want to take her to an indoor waterpark near Utica, IL. This will be something fun she can look forward to and will allow her to get out of the house for a bit after being inside for so long. They have fun slides and water acti
