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. In addition a weekly Classwork/Homework Sheet will also be sent home.  Please note that this could change, depending on how well the students master their assignments.  The students will be responsible for making corrections and updates to their form.

     I teach 3rd grade gifted at Buchanan Elementary School located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  This is my fifth year teaching at Buchanan. I have taught every grade from Pre-K - 8th grade gifted education.  This is my 25th year teaching in the Gifted Program and 30 total years.

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

     I enjoy teaching and don't limit it to the classroom during the school year.  I teach reading workshops to teachers during the summer traveling around the USA.  Last summer instead of teaching I attended the Michelson/Exxon Science/Math workshop and the Confratute workshop at the University of Connecticut.  My husband (Charles Brady) joined me and we traveled across the east coast visiting and touring many historical sites. These were wonderful experiences. 

     This summer I had total knee replacement and am spending the summer getting ready for the new school year.   
 

     Some of my other interests include playing with my grandchildren Connor, Kai, Cameron, Sho, and Jack and two more on the way. 

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