Are you new to teaching third grade? Or, is it your first time teaching third grade in a long time? If so, you're in the right place!
It's no secret that changing grade levels is hard! As someone who doesn't like change, it's definitely not something I enjoy. Although, I do
Keep Students Engaged After Testing
Do your students act as if the moment testing is over they are finished with school? While an early summer break may sound nice, it's definitely a slippery slope, as it's so important to keep students engaged after testing. I’ve learned that if I abandon classroom routines or
Increase Engagement With Task Cards
One way to increase student engagement is to incorporate task cards into your instruction. You can use task cards with centers, playing Scoot, or even use them digitally. While I love using my more traditional task cards, I'm always on the lookout for out of the box ideas to keep

Teaching the Concept of Division
Division can be a tricky and confusing concept for many students. When I was teaching 3rd grade, this was the unit when a large group of students would begin to fall behind. There are so many potential reasons for this struggle: lack of number sense, multiplication facts, and not
Reading Practice Assignments
My favorite way to teach reading is through authentic and high-quality children's literature. I love reading to my students and having students read books of their choice. We participate in read alouds, book clubs, novel studies, literature circles, guided reading groups, and
