Colonial Day

We had such a fun day traveling back in time to the Colonial Period!! I loved watching the students have an authentic learning experience 👍🏻



We used our natural resources like the colonists did and made our own ink for our feather pens. Ben is squeezing the blueberries to get all the juice out!

Students dipped their feathers in the blueberry ink they made and tried to write a letter like they did back in the colonial days! 

100 days smarter in 3rd grade

We started our 100th day in 3rd grade by creating bridges with 100 popsicle sticks! The challenge was to create a bridge that could hold the most weight. A second part to the challenge was to also create a bridge that was the most aesthetically pleasing. 

The winners were Ella, Alanna Grace, and Finley! Their bridge held over 1 kilogram 👏🏻

Next, I posed another 100th day challenge! Students had 7 task cards to work through. Each card had 4 numbers. They needed to use all 4 numbers and all operations (x, +,-, and /) to create an equation that equaled 100.

Even though third grade aged us a bit, we are thankful for these 100 days together. We had such a fun day being being 100 years old and celebrating being 100 days smarter 👵🏻👍🏻

Martin Luther King Jr.

On Friday, our class read a biography about the bravery and courage that Martin Luther King Jr. showed when standing up for what he believed in! We created a class banner to honor him. Their favorite quote from him was that he wanted to “meet hate with love” ❤️

Christmas party 🎄🎅🏻

We started our fun day with a MBES Christmas sing along 🎶

We had a wonderful Christmas party today! The kids enjoyed 4 different stations and then made snowmen cupcakes ☃️

Christmas visitors!

We had a lot of special visitors come read and do Christmas crafts with the kids this week! 🎅🏻🎄

Andrea Lott, or Mimi :), is Dr. Stancil’s mother. The kids had a great time making ornaments and crafts with her.

My mother in law, Sharon Breiner, came to do an estimating Christmas activity with the kids!


My mother, Starr Anderson, came to read and show the kids her dancing Santa Clause! 


Dr. Stancil, our principal, came to read Christmas books to our class! They had a great time with her. 

Learning with Christmas!

We started our Christmas Around the World research today! Kids chose a country’s Christmas traditions to research this week! They will present their country’s traditions to their friends when they are finished. Ask your kids what they have learned so far about their country at Christmas time 🎄

We started building Santa’s village today using area and perimeter!

It’s the season of giving 🎄🎅🏻Students are enjoying giving gifts to their classmates! They can’t wait to open their stockings on Friday!

Thank you letter from Texas School District

I received this thank you letter in the mail from the school district in Texas we sent supplies to after Hurricane Harvey! Your generosity and kindness were deeply felt by that community. Thank you for being champions for ALL students 👏🏻
