So, what about third grade? This is the year that we really started with the new math so to speak. We are now entering multiplication from the threes through the twelves, fractions that include mixed and improper. There is a new subject in social studies known as history which is mainly the colonies and a little of the American revolution, but really only a taste. It was also the first year that we as students had our first achievement tests to see how we were progressing. My first third grade teacher was named Mrs. Bellstrom who for reason it seemed did not seem to care to much about me, but she became a mother and was replaced by Mrs. Donley who did like me and she liked the students to help her with little classroom chores to improve responsibility for we were no longer little ones, but growing up.
Treating us as a
heir that is
interesting
realizing that
direct instruction of skills
grant us
rights and responsibilities we
all
deserve.

Sunny Days
Sunny days keeping the clouds away.... Who remembers the children's program that started each show in this manner. It is a show that is still on that teaches young children their letters, numbers and even foreign language mainly Spanish. Now the program also shares many social issues as well to help learn about cultural diversity. There are many characters that range from a big bird to two friends, a grouch and a 'snuffaluggagus' as well a vampire.

Barbie (2023): A Refreshing and Empowering Take on a Cultural Icon
Growing up as a devoted Barbie fan, I've witnessed the evolution of Barbie movies with keen interest. Despite occasional concerns regarding beauty standards in some films, the underlying themes of confidence and female empowerment have remained commendable. Over time, Barbie movies have transitioned from depicting damsels in distress awaiting rescue to showcasing the diverse capabilities of independent women. The live-action adaptation of Barbie has further enriched this narrative, introducing greater depth and inclusivity.

Miss Alicia Dore was my 3rd grade teacher...so pretty and "hip" with her 60's look. I do remember the math and I like the growing up part, too. It was the year that President Kennedy was assassinated. Miss Dore was Roman Catholic, as he was, and she broke down and cried in class when we found out and then school was let out early.
I remember my 4th-grade teacher as she was my favorite. She liked me too.😊 Good memories.Thank you!❤️
I'm glad you still remember the names of your teachers. Another great article I found on...
