Third Grade

There are so many new and exciting things in my TPT store.
Our curriculum....well, I don't like it. I love teaching how and what my kids enjoy WHILE teaching to the standard. Who likes a scripted curriculum? BLAH!

After years of being forced to follow it to a T, we were finally given the freedom to TEACH. Imagine that. I have enjoyed it so much.

Just a few of my favorite things. New little readers. Foldables. My kids LOVE these. My parents LOVE these. They are easy to make, and pack a HUGE punch with home-school. They are wonderful!

Baseball 2016

Well, it is officially baseball season.

We are Braves for the season. At home we will still not cheer for the Braves though, but aren't these two Braves cute?

They love baseball. It is the only sport they've played that they love. They love the game. They have watched it with B their entire lives. 

They had an awesome first year of tball and really learned alot from Coach Matt about the fundamentals of the game. 

We are playing coach pitch this year. So far they love it. 

Jude is playing third. Asa is playing second. 

Jude hit an in field home run last night for their first pre-season tournament game. Now we play game two on Wednesday. So, basically we are living at the ballpark. 

That is ok with me, we see lots of smiles! 

Go Braves!

Welcome!

Hello. My name is Jae Skinner. I am a wife to David. I have three boys. I have twin five year olds, Asa and Jude. I have a three year old, Titus. We are currently living at the ballpark!

I am a third grade teacher in Alabama. I love teaching.

We are huge ALABAMA fans. Roll Tide!

We love going to the beach. Destin is our favorite place.

We love our church family.

We have the best friends anyone could ask for.

I blog about all things mom, life, teaching, and whatever else may happen.

I tend to be sarcastic and very blunt!

We love you Tiny and you bring so much joy and happiness to our lives. You love "my brudders." You have adjusted so well to all the changes our life has thrown at you  in the last month. You weigh 33 lbs. You never forget anything. You can sing any song you've ever heard. You hate the potty. You are perfectly fine wearing diapers until your five. You have been going to the potty at school the past two days and have done fairly well. I'll crack down at Spring Break when we are home for a week. Let's face it, I'll let you pee outside most of the week and you will get the hang of it.

We are having your party on Saturday. You wanted a Paw Patrol party. You love the bouncy house, trains, cars, cooking with the kitchen you got for Christmas, and puzzles. You can work puzzles that Asa and Jude have to think about. You love to be read to. You are strong willed. You love people. You will march right into a room with strangers at church and daycare and come out loving them at the end of the time. You are our outgoing child.

You absolutely hate to be woken up in the mornings. I look at it as payback for the last three years of terrible sleep you've given us. I love your morning hugs and wanting to be held.

 You will always be our baby. Asa and Jude told someone today, "Our baby is going to be three tomorrow." You are quick to tell everyone that tries to get you to potty, "I not a big boy, I da baby." It is cute now, but will not be when you are five.

You have fifty names. Tiny. Tiny Skinner. JoJo. Titus. TiTi. You will randomly tell people a different name each time you see them. The poor older lady in the nursery was so confused the first two weeks of January. Most of the kids in your class at school said, "Bye JoJo" when we left yesterday.

You make us smile. I could sit and watch your antics and love for life all day. You are a cute little pouter too and we get to see that lots. If we ignore you, you get over it rather quickly.

You eat terrible. You live off of cereal, macaroni, french fries and chicken nuggets. You do love bananas, watermelon, black olives and yougurt so I guess that is ok. I buy the foods listed above with the highest iron content, pat myself on the back and am thankful we are off iron supplements!:) Win for momma!

Happy 3rd Birthday, JoJo!
