Hello and welcome to my blog and first post!
I
am excited to start this blog and be able to express my creativity
through teaching resources. I love, love, love my job teaching third
graders in Lincoln, Nebraska. Before I tell you more about my resources,
let me give you a little background on where I am coming from as far as
experience.
I hit the ground running after
graduating last December with accepting a one semester contract teaching
25 adventurous third graders. I didn't have much time to prepare
because it was a last minute opportunity so I learned as I went. This
was both a bless and a cursing, but I wouldn't do it any other way. I
worked a lot of weekends, but learned SO much more than I would have if I
could have overplanned for months before. Luckily, I will get to stay
in my classroom teaching Third Grade again this school year.
I
have decided that my theme will be yellow, teal, and gray chevron.
Finding decorations for my room that matched was difficult and
expensive, so I started making a lot of my own!
Here
is the first piece I will share. It is a student self-assessment
graphic for a quick check of understanding during any curricular lesson.
I love using this to have student think about their learning and give
me a signal if they are struggling. I will use the self-assessment this
year along with my data tracking. I will share about that in a later
post.

Until next time,
Jordan
