Third Grade Reflection Opportunity

What a year this was! Recording your thoughts, interests and ideas about a time period is always a great way to reflect and grow. Plus, it’s really fun to look back at it when you get older. 🙂

Check out this activity where you can jot down your ideas all about third grade. You can print it out to write, or edit with Kami (rotate to get it right side up) and print to save.
