Step-up Day Helpful Ideas!

I can hardly believe that we just have a precious few days of school left!

Please share some of your thoughts about third grade in our classroom. What are your favorite times of the day? Do you especially like our Thirty Glorious Minutes of Independent Reading? Why? Do you look forward to relaxing on a bean bag and listening to a great chapter book during Read Aloud? How about math groups? Blogging? What else? Pioneer Journals, Native American iMovie?

Please help me will some ideas to share with our rising third graders on Step Up Day! I am planning on sharing this blog post with the future third graders!

P.S. Please show them that good bloggers check over their writing for correct capitalization on punctuation before posting!
