3rd Grader Quotes of the Day

3rd Grader Quotes of the Day

 Each day my students do Exit Slips. On a post it note they write one thing they learned or a question they have about something we learned.  Today one student wrote: " I learned I had better be quiet in the bathroom", and another one wrote

" Why in the world are we doing these exit slips?" 3rd graders just crack me up!!! :)

First Day

Today was our first day of class in Mrs. Tracy's 3rd grade and it went wonderfully.  I have 16 students and they were all very enthusiastic and very well behaved.  When I gave them a 15 minute warning that it was time to go home, they all made a sad groan...and that made me smile really big.  And then think about the days that they will be so ready to get out of there, they will nearly knock me over!  Day 2....tomorrow!

Finishing Touches

 I wasn't feeling on top of the world today, but I got a lot done.  I love organizing, but I was a little pushed for time.  Open House is tomorrow, August 6, from 4:00 - 6:00.  Guess I am as ready as I will be!

I actually made these curtains with Liquid Stitch!  I can't even sew a button on! I made 4 pairs!

My area is ready!

Ready, Set,  5 Days to Go!

Five days and counting until the first day of this school year!  Today the husband and I hit the used book store (gotta love McKays) and hit the mother lode!  I was so excited!  It is always great to find Patricia Pollaco books. Today I found Junkyard Wonders and Chicken Sunday!  Patricia Polacco is my all time favorite author....my favorite books being Dear Mr. Falker and My Rotten Red-Headed Older Brother!  Can't wait to get the year started with all the great reading that I have in store!
