Diary of a 3rd Grader {End of Year Memory Book} inspired by our favorite graphic novel! 

This resource is available for the following grade levels:
Diary of a 2nd Grader

Diary of a 4th Grader

Diary of a 5th Grader 

This printable booklet is a fun way for your students to reflect on the school year during the last few days. You might guess that this booklet was inspired by my students' love for graphic novels, especially the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. To implement this booklet in your last few days of school, you might read a few pages of one of the books to give students ideas. I encouraged my students to be creative and humorous in completing this project. You might notice that there is a pattern throughout the books. A few lines of text written in journal form and then a short cartoon sketch. A few lines of text and then a short cartoon sketch, and so forth. 

The booklet totals in 4 actual pages front and back. There are a total of 16 small booklet pages (including the front and back cover). The pages are copied back to back and then folded to form a booklet which students and families can cherish forever! Below are the booklet page contents. They are in the order in which you would copy them. On the following page you will find directions for copying as well.

Booklet Pages include the following:
{These are the half-sheet pages of the booklet}

Diary of a 3rd Grader {Front Cover}

A Day in the Life of a 3rd Grader (The Afternoon…) (pg. 2)
September/June This page is inspired by the diary form of many graphic novels. 

This page is meant for students to reflect on what they thought at the beginning of the year and how they changed. My students came up with ideas such as: 

"At the beginning of the year, I thought I wouldn’t have any friends. But now I know, to make new friends, you have to be a friend."

"At the beginning of the year, I thought I would never learn my multiplication facts. But now I know all of my facts and even some division."

Role Model Students identify a role model in their lives as well as how they are a role model for others. (pg. 4) 
#Goals The end of the year is a great time to set goals before students head off for Summer Break! Students set personal and academic goals. (pg. 5)
When I Grow Up… This page goes right along with setting goals. (pg. 6)
VIP {Very Important People} Students sketch a few of their closest friends, teachers, etc. that they consider to be important in their present lives. (pg. 7)

This set of task Cards includes:

• 36 Task Cards
• Answer Sheet
• Answer Key

Standards Addressed:

• 5.OA.A.1 Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.

• 5.OA.A.2 Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation "add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2" as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.

• 5.OA.B.3 Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule "Add 3" and the starting number 0, and given the rule "Add 6" and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

• 5.G.A.1 Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).

• 5.G.A.2 Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.

8 Ways to use Math Task Cards in Your Classroom:

I recommend printing these on card stock and/or laminating them so that you can continuously use them year after year.

1. Math Center
2. Journal Problems
3. Small Group Instruction
4. End of Unit Review
5. Test Prep
6. Early Finisher Task
7. Write and Wipe Answers (if laminated)
8. Walk and Solve: Many teachers like to place these around the classroom to get their kids moving by "walking and solving." You can put them on desks, paste them on your whiteboard, and in various places around the room.

This set of task Cards includes:

• 36 Task Cards
• Answer Sheet
• Answer Key

Standards Addressed:

✔︎ 4.OA.B.4 Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite.1

✔︎ 4.OA.C.5 Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself. For example, given the rule "Add 3" and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.

This set of task Cards includes:

• 36 Task Cards
• Answer Sheet
• Answer Key

Standards Addressed

• 3.OA.C.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
• 3.OA.A.2 Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.
• 3.OA.A.3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.1
• 3.OA.A.4
  Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = _ ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?
• 3.OA.B.6 Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8

• 36 Task Cards

Standards Addressed:
✔︎ 4.NF.C.5 Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100.2 For example, express 3/10 as 30/100, and add 3/10 + 4/100 = 34/100.
✔︎ 4.NF.C.6 Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram.
✔︎ 4.NF.C.7 Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
