Woohoo! We are really getting into the third grade groove now. Math review is underway and math facts are being practiced regularly. We are learning about the hemispheres, the continents and the oceans, too. (The kids had a great time pretending that they were astronauts who blasted off into space. ) As we "float" closer to Earth, we have to figure out how to get home without contact from NASA. Pretty cool stuff, huh? I wish I did those things when I was in third grade! The kids have been building stamina during independent reading time. It is a favorite time of our day - be sure to ask your son or daughter about this special time when we get lost inside our "good fit" books. Today independent writing started - cool, little red notebooks filled with blank pages just waiting for the creative thoughts and dreams of a third grader. Okay - I admit it - I am the lucky one - I get to witness it all happening, right here in our little 3C world.

This is a wonderful post. But you know what? I think those kids are pretty lucky too-to have a teacher who is so excited year after year to watch them blossom. Your joy on their behalf is contagious and no doubt each and every one of them will flourish in the wonderful, wonderful world of 3C.
