Third Grade Teacher
CurrentI am a third grade teacher, and this year I will be teaching all content areas. This includes a health unit, math, science, social studies, and language arts which is broken into a reading and writing section. This is my first year as an elementary educator working independently. The curriculum we currently use is, Trophies, and Math Expressions. In my reading program I am incorporating the Daily 5 and Cafe model with Trophies. The Lucy Calkins reading and writing program is currently being piloted by another third grade teacher. We are not under the PBIS Framework system but I use a combination of Conscious Discipline as well as PBIS to manage my room. This school offers many ways to make independent decisions on the operation of the classroom so I will be able to test many different strategies.
