TGIF Third Grade is Fun

So true! I have been trying my best to get ready. I hadn't thought about the first week of school resources. Thanks for the ideas. Today I copied all of my benchmark tests for the whole year. It is such a relief to know that even that one tiny thing is checked off my list!

Jamie, my mom (Debby) works with your hubby at PCH (and I believe you work with my friend Maria Russo, too!). I've been meaning to follow your blog for a long time but, as you know, the school year bogged me down! Your TPT work and blog are beautiful! I'll be following even though I'm moving up to 6th. 🙂 – Heidi

I believe that students need to be the leaders of the classroom. Even third graders are old enough to be held accountable and to take responsibility for their learning.
I do not believe that kids were made to sit in seats. They need to get up and move around.
Differentiated instruction is a must. I use guided reading and guided math groups to meet the individual needs of my students.
Helping a student to discover their love for reading is a privilege that I never get tired of.
School should be fun! We party in my class!
