First Day of Third Grade
On the first day of school, I meet my teacher. My teacher's name is Mrs. Wong. She is so nice! We talked about the rules and she asked many questions. These are some of the questions she asked our class. What would you like to learn this year? Are you excited about third grade? What is your favorite thing about school? What are some of the things you are interested in? After answering these questions we began reading a book by Beverly Clearly. I loved the book! I was very interested in the main character. She hated cursive! Then we had circle time and talked about some of the things we will learn in third grade this year. I really enjoyed the first day of school!
