Learning With the Stars

Well, third grade is off to an awesome start!  I am so excited about this school year.  We are all getting to know one another and learning our new procedures and routines.  The kids are doing an awesome job.  They are really adapting well.  The kids have now received all of their textbooks and we have begun our learning adventure.  We are beginning with the story, Boom Town, and learning the difference between realism and fantasy.  We will soon begin to learn our multiplication facts, beginning with zeroes and ones. Keep checking our blog for upcoming pictures of our chemical experiments.

Introduction

Hello and welcome to the third grade!

As your child's teacher, I would like to begin by introducing myself.   My name is Hayley Blount and I am from Malvern.  I am married to Ken Blount and the proud mom of four children: Austin (9), Taylor (10), Dylan (11), and Peyton (11).  So believe me, I understand how busy your schedule may be and the daunting task of nightly homework!  I am also a big Alabama fan.  Roll Tide!  I have three basset hound dogs named Ally, Bama, and Mount Cody.

I have taught at Wicksburg School for six years.  I have a Bachelors Degree from Troy University and a Masters degree from the University of West Alabama.  You must know that I love my job and will do my best to make third grade the best year yet.

Third grade is filled with new goals, responsibilities, and a new found independence.  Don't get scared just yet!  I will help pave the way. Through this blog, I will keep you posted on what is going on in our classroom, what we are learning, and important events.  If you need anything, never hesitate to call me.  My email is blount.hayley@hcboe.us and the school number is 692-5549.

Let's work together and make this year the best!

With warmest regards,

Hayley Blount
