I haven't posted in a while because I have been so busy and I have had a lot going on! Halloween was last Thursday and it was a "charged" day in third grade to say the least! At our school, they students aren't allowed to dress up, so that helps a little when it comes to keeping the kids calm. I love to bring pumpkins into the classroom and do a whole "pumpkin" themed day! I used this activity pack from my TpT … [Read more...]
Multiplication Fact Practice
Today in third grade we moved on to the x4's. So far we have done the x0, x1, x2, x3, x5, and x10s. After our whole class lesson and individual practice, I wanted the kids to get a chance to practice their facts in a fun way. Since flashcards can be boring to a third grader, I decided to create a "game" for fact practice. First I downloaded free game boards from The School Bell. I had students color them in when they … [Read more...]
Subject and Predicate “Dice” Activity: Day 2
The second day of our Subject and Predicate "Dice" activities involved creating their own dice. Each partner-ship had to create a subject die and a predicate die. They worked together to create 6 subjects and 6 predicates to put on their dice. Once they completed their dice, they cut out and assembled them. Then they could roll their dice and record their own sentences. It was so motivating for them to see what they might … [Read more...]
Subject and Predicate “Dice” Activities
In an attempt to make subjects and predicates more engaging, I decided to create a game out of them. My students LOVED it!

Each group of two students created one subject and one predicate die. Once they were created, the students rolled both of the dice to create … [Read more...]
DIY: Storage Drawers
While I was on summer vacation, was looking around on Pinterest and I saw this set of storage drawers. It was on a blog called Down The Learning Road. I knew it was something that I wanted for my classroom to keep all my odds and ends in. On the blog, it said that I could get the drawers at Lowes or Home Depot. I was able to find mine on Amazon and I was able to use some of my Amazon points. All they had available was black so I knew … [Read more...]
Interactive Reading Journal/Notebook
This year I decided to create Interactive Reading Journals with my class. I had seen similar ideas before but none of them seemed to be exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to start creating pages on my own. So far, we are in our third week of school and my students LOVE them. They like the idea of cutting and gluing (of course...who wouldn't) and their written responses are getting better and better each day. I like that I … [Read more...]
