S.T.A.R. Notebooks
Third Grade 2005-2006
Our theme for the year was- "It's Good To Be A Shining Star." With this theme in mind, our organizational notebooks for the year were called S.T.A.R. notebooks. S.T.A.R. is an acronym for Students-Taking-Active-Responsibility. That's exactly the purpose for these wonderful organizational tools. They were a great success last year and I'm sure they will be an equal success for this year's class. These will hold everything needed to keep our families updated on classroom and school events!
