Welcome to Mrs. Abuyo's 3rd Grade Class!

Back-to-School Stuff and Such

 FIRST-DAY SCHEDULE

  • I've always had difficulties figuring out what to do on the first day of school. Since my district does half-day on the first day, the following schedule is for the 2nd day or the first full day of classes. I have also included my schedule of what I do on that first half-day.
