I have taught kindergarten for the past three years and will be teaching third grade this year. I have some time before school starts and would like to get ideas/routines from other 3rd grade teachers. Does anyone have any good 3rd grade teacher websites that you could recommend? Thanks
Are you looking for websites that will serve as a resource for you, or websites that your third graders will use and navigate on their own?
http://hill.troy.k12.mi.us/staff/bnewingham/myweb3/ This website is probably the best I have found. She has so many wonderful ideas and tips. Mrs. Newingham also has a blog on Scholastic which can be viewed here: http://community.scholastic.com/blog?blog.id=snapshot35
This is an excellent site from a veteran third grade teacher. The amount of resources looks a bit overwhelming, but it is organized very well, and it's better to have too many options than not enough! Plus, she also has documents that you can download and modify to your liking. http://www.rccsd.org/MSmith/index.htm Another site that I found useful was: www.learner.org. Since you've taught for several years, the language and concepts may be very familiar to you. It contains best practices and methodologies for teaching and management that are great. Hope it helps!
Site One of the best I've found so far: www.mspowell.com It's wonderful!! I've been easily able to implement many of her ideas/procedures.:2up:
Mrs. Pearce’s Third Grade: http://www.misscampioni.com/index.htm Mrs. Fregales 3rd-5th Classroom: http://captainfragale.com/
website I have taught fourth, second and now third for the past two years. I have a website with all the "stuff" I have a created or found on the internet. Many of the same things I used in 4th and 2nd I use in third with some tweaking. Feel free to check it out! www.mandygregory.com
More on Beth Newingham When you click on the link provided by Deb06 find this link...Please visit http://blogs.scholastic.com/. They have a new 3rd-5th advisor (Brent) at Scholastic blogs who is really fun to watch in action and has great ideas.
Have a try with beestar. My daughter and many of her friends are using it. The worksheets are cute, full of real life world problems, challenging stuff helps kids thinking.:thumb: Lisa
I've used two sites I've used www.mspowell.com and http://blogs.scholastic.com/classroom_solutions/brent_vasicek/ Both are chock full of ideas.
