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



Monthly Book Themes


This year I tried something new and am loving it. I have a monthly theme and pull off the books from my personal shelf. I've decorated a small bulletin board and have a small book display that holds these special books. Pictures are coming soon. I've tried to coordinate them with lesser-known monthly ideas.
