1….Cursive Writing is HARD (direct quote!)
2....You are not born knowing how to multiply.
3... Children who's parents take the time to help them practice multiplication pick it up faster.
4... 8 year olds can be MEAN.
5. They are still young enough even at the end of the year to want hugs.
6. They still love to be read to.
7. Getting down on their level and doing work with them (on the floor) makes them feel loved.
8. Having three teachers in one year is not easy, on them or on the last teacher (me).
9. Poetry is everywhere you look.
10. Magic Tree House books can be too hard, depending on the student, some love it, some don't. But I still love the books, and still encourage them to read them!
11. The Trumpeter Swan is a big hit. They can't wait to hear what will happen next, and love prediciting!
12. 15 minutes is not a very long break (recess)
13. I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD THEM THE LAST 2 MONTHS!!!!!

oh 15 minutes!!! that's not long enough at all!! cute tt!
Third grade was the year I discovered Sweet Valley High. LOL!
My stepdaughter is in 2nd grade but she has already outgrown Magic Treehouse. It is hard to find books that are challenging enough for her without being too grown up.
Awesome list. I have a 1st grader and it's a challenge with her and her reading sometimes. Happy TT and thanks for stopping by!!
Sounds like the class is in the right hands now. Good luck!
It's been a while since my kids were in 3rd grade, so I don't remember, but 15 minutes just doesn't seem long enough for recess.
My son LOVED the Magic Treehouse books. He had every one of them until he outgrew them. We passed them on to a friend with two small children.
Thanks for visiting my TT!
15 minute breaks aren't even long enough for *me*.
Happy TT!
