Wow. It has been quite a while since I posted on here. My first year teaching was good, my second year teaching was great. Now, I'm looking forward to year three, because I know it's going to be the best yet.
I'm currently at an SDE conference. I'm so grateful my school allowed me this opportunity to learn what current research states about a variety of educational topics. Even just the resources alone have been worth it for me. Here are some of my favorite finds.
Math vocabulary for word walls with visuals and definitions, all common core by grade level.

INCREDIBLE List of various online teacher resources:

Some great freebies from LeAnn Nickelson's website, ww.maximizelearninginc.com
I've heard her speak throughout the SDE conference and absolutely love her! Very inspiring and full of useful ideas and research-based strategies for all K-12 subject areas.
I also just started reading Teach Like a Pirate, by Dave Burgess. Excellent read so far. I'll share more once I finish it. 😊
I'm already looking forward to next school year. I know, it's June. 😳 However, this conference has been eye opening to the vast resources available and new tools and strategies. I'm attending a lot of PD this summer to refine and master the art of teaching. I have a new partner next year, who lucky enough is attending this SDE conference with me. We keep brainstorming ideas and I just can't wait.
We're going to "Wild About Learning" next school year. It should be a blast. 3rd grade will not just be an adventurous year for 2015-2016, it will be a Safari Adventure. 😍😍🐆🐅🐒
Until next time,
3rd Grade Adventures
