Xmas 2017

You were a very good angel during Christmas Eve mass, and ate at least 3 candy canes after mass. Good thing someone was in between you and Carter during mass to help you behave.

The big hits for Christmas-
a drone that you got from Taylors, that you've played with once
magic 8 ball- that we played with that day
2018 almanac- that you'll look at throughout the year

We went to a friend's house later that day...and she had a phone, your favorite thing.

Notes to Santa- You wrote to Mrs. Claus this year and asked for a Diary of a Wimpy kid book and asked them if they liked your cardboard gingerbread houses. :)

From Santa-

Criminal

You had like 10 pancakes yesterday and were very proud that Daddy was the "bacon boy" at the church Christmas breakfast.

You also saw Santa...June was freakin' out and you claimed that Carter sat like this every time he saw him, a total of 4 times.

Oh and Daddy turned you onto Criminal- A Podcast About Crime. I've been trying to get into kid podcasts for a while now. You said- those were all "boring". You probably listened to 3 yesterday! Oh dear....

3rd Grade Fall Progress Rpt

Halloween 2017

Maevy-

We saw the Wyckoff extended fam (Barwicks and Farahs), did a Halloween costume run, and went to the neighborhood truck or treat. You came up the idea for June's costume, thinking you would be a pair. :)

A black cat, a witch, and Chase from Paw Patrol

On the night of- you all went trick or treating a couple times and handed out over 1000 pieces of candy, 1 per person. We were out of candy by 7:30p and in bed by 8:30p. Every year I say.."This is crazy!"..about our road.

Happy Halloween!

1st Quarter 3rd Grade

What you gave me when I came back from the hospital-

"Congratulations. I'm glad your back! (from the hospital) (not the car)"
Sincerely, Maevy

Can't ask for a better report card. Your teachers specifically asked not to do a parent-teacher conference. :)

Fall Break Recap

Maevy-girl-

We headed to Chatt for a few days with the Taylors (Anna, JR, Suz , Juli, Elena, M, & Pop).

Day 1: Arrived at the Airbnb house, played
Day 2: Aquarium, carousel, park, then dinner out at Public House
Day 3: Rock City, Children's Museum, pizza home
Day: Zip line, then home :)

Swing with all the kids was a big hit. So was the bounce house in the basement. You were good with the little kids, loved the screening room, slept in the screening room, slept without your lovie because you left it at Emmy's house. You went to school and wrote all about the airbnb we stayed. :)

Rock city..we laughed so hard when Daddy couldn't fit.

You  loved zip lining!

 Happy fall break!

3rd Grade Writings

3rd Grade Stories So Far...

Lockeland Dreamin'
This year our school's theme is "Lockeland Dreamin', What lifts you? The theme makes me think of the goals and dreams I have. I hope one day to become a photographer or a kindergarten teacher. I can achieve that goal of being a photographer by taking pictures and practicing. I know that if I keep practicing that my dream of being a photographer will come true. - Maevy Taylor (August 2017)

Stories from Math -
Each week the class practices math facts by doing a 5 minute drill. If you get a certain % correct, then you get to be on Mr. Todd's Wall of Fame. After the 1st drill - Mr. Todd announced the names that got all 50 questions correct. But then later - you got your test back and noticed that you got all 50 right as well. You spoke up and let Mr. Todd know - he apologized for missing it earlier. :)

Last week in math - you were going over some division and Mr. Todd kept asking questions and you kept raising your hand to answer. Then finally - Mr. Todd said - "Does anyone besides Maevy know any of these answers?"

Keep up the great work. Love you!

Labor Day Weekend Re-cap

It was surprise Saturday - and we headed to Kentucky Kingdom for 2 days!

It was super fun- but no amount of convincing or bribing could get you to ride a roller coaster with me. Maybe next year... I think your favorite ride was a mini-kid roller coaster and the Tin Lizzies.

Back in Nashville on Labor Day - we visited the WW2II Landing Ship LST-325.

 Giant shell -

Randoms from the weekend

Dream catchers - you and Carter made last Saturday - at Turnip Green Reuse. Daddy said they are headed to larger installation out of town and then will be returned. Cool. :)
