Hi!       Welcome to   
           Third Grade.

This web site was developed to provide information for students and parents concerning daily assignments and class expectations. Success for each student is dependent upon his/her personal acceptance of responsibility and dedication in completing assignments. 

The site will be updated each week with assignments for that week.

Students will be expected to write  class assignments in their planners.  Please note that these assignments could change, depending on how well the students master their assignments OR  any interruptions which might affect completing an assignment.  The students will be responsible for making corrections and updates to their planners.

                                    I teach 3rd grade gifted at Buchanan Elementary School located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  This is my seventh year teaching at Buchanan. I have taught every grade from Pre-K - 8th grade gifted education.  This is my 27th year teaching in the Gifted Program and 32 total years.

     I received my degree in Elementary Education, with a Master's Degree in Reading and a Specialist Degree in Curriculum with additional certifications in Gifted, Early Childhood Development and Technology.

     I enjoy teaching and don't limit it to the classroom.  I teach reading workshops to teachers during the summer traveling around the USA however,  I didn't teach this past summer.
   Instead we traveled to Arizona to visit my son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren.  We took them to Carlsbad, CA and went to the LegoLand
Attraction along with other attractions in the San Diego area.

  A few years ago I attended Confratute, a Gifted Conference, in Connecticut.  My husband (Charles Brady) joined me and we traveled across the east coast visiting and touring many historical sites. Those were wonderful experiences. 

     I took a few sewing classes on my new Bernina sewing machine. I also did some smocking for my granddaughter.  She is so Cute.  I have seven grandchildren and enjoy playing with them.  Their ages range from 11 to 2 years. Their names are Connor, Kai, Cameron, Sho,  Jack, Alan and baby Kaitlyn. 

      I also enjoy reading, watching movies with friends,  gardening, cycling, and traveling around with my husband (and TBone, our dog :).
