Whooo's Ready For Third Grade?

The theme for Third Grade this year is the" Wise Owls".

 

We are off to a great start in grade 3. We have learned some facts about real owls as we have been getting to know each other. One of the favorite places in our classroom is the reading corner. This class loves to read!
