Perimeter Task Cards

February 20, 2017April 2, 2017Leave a comment

I am VERY excited to be introducing my first curriculum based item to Teachers Pay Teachers! Between starting a new job in a new grade and moving the same week, I am finally getting into the groove in my classroom. We have been making things happen in our classroom and I am excited for you … Continue reading Perimeter Task Cards

We love getting new orders from @scholasticinc! Last week I talked about our new books before they arrived. We did a surprise unboxing and the kids went nuts for it. They kept saying “I hope this book is in there” and “I want that one!” I then took their student numbers, randomly ordered them, and let them pick a new book to read. They begged for independent reading time on Friday. Makes reading fun! #Iteach #teachers #teachersofthegram #classroomorganization #teachersoftpt #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #iteachtoo #iteach3 #iteachthird #teachertribe #thirdgrade #educator #texasteachers

I am so excited for Willow! Engage your kiddos with rigorous place value cards that comes with a potions recording sheet. As kids finish their task card, they draw ingredients to help Willow finish her math potion. Grab your set in my TpT store link in bio. #Iteach #teachers #teachersofthegram #classroomorganization #teachersoftpt #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #iteachtoo #iteach3 #iteachthird #teachertribe #thirdgrade #educator #texasteachers

We started using Lucy Calkins Units of Study for both reading and writing this year. It is so good for the kiddos, but it is a learning curve. I have made it very clear to the kids that I am still learning and will make mistakes. I think they are more willing to try harder tasks after seeing me learn new things. They give me grace and are giving each other grace too! #Iteach #teachers #teachersofthegram #classroomorganization #teachersoftpt #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #iteachtoo #iteach3 #iteachthird #teachertribe #thirdgrade #educator #texasteachers

On Friday, we completed our first unit for reading. We have been reading the book Stone Fox for the last few weeks as our mentor text. Guys, we all cried. After we reflected by saying “She remembers...” and gave a part of the book. We did a popcorn sharing with one kiddo sharing at a time and then someone else picking up when they ended. We laughed. We cried. We remembered the good. It was pretty amazing. #Iteach #teachers #teachersofthegram #classroomorganization #teachersoftpt #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #iteachtoo #iteach3 #iteachthird #teachertribe #thirdgrade #educator #texasteachers

I wish I could have bottled this moment up to share with everyone. We finished our first unit of Lucy Calkins for Narrative Writing. We did a book store “Guest Author” style sharing. They had name tents with their name and Guest Author. We left positive feedback and room to grow on comment cards. They were self paced, listening, and fully engaged and invested. Makes my heart so full! #Iteach #teachers #teachersofthegram #classroomorganization #teachersoftpt #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #iteachtoo #iteach3 #iteachthird #teachertribe #thirdgrade #educator #texasteachers

This is ringing true on so many levels! This year has been a challenge. Learning how to be self contained, teaching ELA for the first time and our grade level learning a while new reading AND writing curriculum. I can say that I am growing and changing every single day! Here’s to the long weekend and rest of the year! #Iteach #teachers #teachersofthegram #classroomorganization #teachersoftpt #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #iteachtoo #iteach3 #iteachthird #teachertribe #thirdgrade #educator #texasteachers
