 3rd Grade Poem 

With eyes opened wide,
Longing to know cursive,
To multiply and divide!

Certain that they are ready,
Yet sometimes not so sure…
Ready to tackle anything?
Or wishing for things that were?

Now there’s notebook paper,
More projects and bigger books.
Math pages that can’t be torn out
Evoke bewildered looks.

Challenges are many…
That cannot be denied.
But when each goal is conquered,
Nothing equals third grade pride!

Third graders long to be grown up.
Sometimes they even sound smug.
But inside each eight and nine year old
Is a child who would still love a hug!

So don’t let third grade scare you.
Just be ready to enjoy each day.
Ask questions as often as needed.
We’ll help every step of the way!
