Letters From Santa

Dear Santa,
Santa, may you give me some stuff for Christmas like games and a little bit of toys? If you bring it to me, I will believe in you in real life. If I believe in you, everyone should believe in you. I will be good.
Sincerely,
Tyrell

Dear Santa,
How are you doing? I hope you bring me some toys so I can play with my sister. I know it will be fun to play with my toys with my sister and cousin. I want a bike for Christmas so I can ride on something like my sister. I love the way you talk when our class listens to the Christmas songs. You are like, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" I like the way you sound when you do that! I also like the way your clothes feel. I can't feel them, though, because I am asleep when you come.
Love,
Shanora

Dear Santa,
I love Christmas! I want some shoes and some clothes. I also want a Wii. I love the work that your elf did last year!
Love,
Sherrina

Dear Santa,
I would like a drum, a Bible, and a gift for my teacher - a big one! My sister wants a math book, and my brother wants a reading book. Now, back to what I want! There will be a stocking. Mine will be the one with all the stuff. I want some candy in my stocking. I want my family to have the best Christmas ever! I want a lot of stuff for Christmas. I cannot name them, so that is all I want.
Love,
Devin

Dear Santa,
I love Christmas! It is the best time of the month. This is what's best about Christmas. It is our Savior's birthday. I would like a bike, snow boots, a Bratz game, and an MP3 player.
Sincerely,
Sharnecia

Dear Santa,
How are you doing this summer? Do you know what I want for Christmas? I love you. Do you love me? I have been waiting for Christmas. I know you have something for me. I know I have been good. You see me everyday doing what I'm supposed to do. My brothers have been good. You know just what I want you to bring all of us. Did you know we have a Christmas tree up?
Love,
Arrion

Dear Santa,
I hope you get me what I want. Get me some games, clothes, and shoes. Just get me what you can, Santa.
Sincerely,
Alric

Merry Christmas from Mrs. Johnson's Class!!

This has been a very exciting week! We had a special visitor in the building every morning to take pictures with students. Mrs. Johnson could not contain herself! She led the WHOLE class down to the rotunda to take a class picture with Santa!!

Merry Christmas!

Ms. Greenwell

Our class has been super lucky this year! We have had so many visitors come to visit our classroom. I think one of our favorite visitors has been Ms. Greenwell. Ms. Greenwell is a student at Mississippi College who is training to become a teacher. She has chosen to learn and teach the best that our school has to offer! (At least, we like to think so!)

Ms. Greenwell's last day was Tuesday. We were sad to see her go. However, we won't be sad for long because SHE'S COMING BACK! Ms. Greenwell will be student teaching in our room too! We can't wait for January when she returns!

A fun activity Ms. Greenwell did on main idea.

Ms. Greenwell taught us about run-on sentences, fragments, and complete sentences.

On Ms. Greenwell's last day, she surprised us with gifts! She brought us each an ornament with our names on them! Our class had a "candy bouquet" for her. She loved her candy as much as we loved our ornaments! Thank you so much, Ms. Greenwell!!

The Polar Express

Third grade has been blessed this year by Junior League of Jackson. Ladies from the Jr. League come to the third grade classes to read to a few of our students. This year, as a Christmas send-off, they decided to host a "Polar Express" experience for all third graders. It was so much fun! One of the members read The Polar Express while the others fixed us hot chocolate! At the end of the book, the ladies served us hot chocolate and gave us each our own sleigh bell and candy cane! We were so excited!! Our class even performed our rendition of "We Love You, Junior League" to the tune of Jingle Bells. We finished the song off with a jingling of our bells. They loved it! We can't wait for our new group of Junior League ladies in the spring!

It was a wonderful story!

Miss Lisa was one of the ladies who read with Brindarius, Kadajah, Alric, Selicia, Jameel, and J'Darrien. She even brought our WHOLE class treat bags for Halloween and Christmas! We love you, Mrs. Lisa!
