Cursive is on the top of Karalynn's list too. She's been practicing her name to impress her teacher :-)<br /><br />Jody: She has an excellent teacher! And I totally understand... 3rd grade was the last grade for me before the whole cattyness started.<br /><br />CKHB: I don't necessarily want to UNDO my schooling... well, okay maybe a FEW things... :-)<br /><br />T.Anne: WOW! Lots of Mom's of 3rd graders here! We need to start a club! High school wasn't my shining moment... I need to relive it too!<br /><br />Jill: Yes, trapper keepers rocked!<br /><br />Erika: Ha..

So I'll repeat 3rd while you do 5th kay?!?<br /><br />Carolinestarr: WELCOME! Rachelle's blog is awesome! And you can join the mom's of 3rd grader's club too! :-)<br /><br />Tara: I'm so sorry your 3rd grade was rough!

I had a great teacher and we started doing units of study with more independence and creativity.<br /><br />I still remember having to write a descriptive paragraph about how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Instead of a grade, we had to go to the front of the class and "make" our sandwich as the teacher read exactly what we had written. Classmates didn't laugh - they groaned when they remembered the words in their own paragraphs.<br /><br />BTW, I sometimes speak at my kids' schools about being a writer. I take the steps that they are learning and show what that looks like when I write a book. I couldn't believe how many kids came up afterward and told me about the book they were writing.Candee Fickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08158819887944287696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-46586348092383375552009-08-18T10:24:05.901-05:002009-08-18T10:24:05.901-05:00I'd relive first grade.

Even though that was the year my parents divorced, my dad remarried, and my mom started dating again, Mrs. Turner made me forget my real life every day. That was before kids got really mean, coloring a picture of a house with two trees on either side every day was awesome fun, and there was Play-Doh waiting for us in the mornings. :)Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807404107561910704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-42949716035908451512009-08-18T10:11:07.437-05:002009-08-18T10:11:07.437-05:00If I was going to repeat a grade it would be my se...If I was going to repeat a grade it would be my senior year in high school.

We'd moved to a different state halfway through and I didn't have any friends. Also, my teacher disliked me and made my life miserable. <br /><br />All the other grades were pretty good, though. I loved those trapper keepers!Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-3814880293938466332009-08-18T10:00:49.724-05:002009-08-18T10:00:49.724-05:00MY DD is heading into third grade this year too.

I loved school, but the whole point is that I did it once, and now it's behind me. If I went back, I've have to try to fix any mistakes I made, except then I wouldn't have learned from those mistakes, and I wouldn't be me anymore!CKHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741681893677604323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-43825350087707724442009-08-18T09:22:23.028-05:002009-08-18T09:22:23.028-05:00Wow!

I loved learning but it got drowned out in the myriad of other petty issues that come along with being around peers all day! It's only since I'm adult that I've actually nourished and returned to my love of learning. I'm excited to learn new things and it's finally fun!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-3866991253299740272009-08-18T07:28:50.369-05:002009-08-18T07:28:50.369-05:00I am sending my oldest daughter to thrid grade on ...I am sending my oldest daughter to thrid grade on Wednesday.
