http://www.thirdgradedoodles.com/2013/05/reading-across-multiple-non-fiction.html
Reading Across Multiple Non-fiction Texts. Tuesday, May 7, 2013. How do you teach kids to gather and compare information on a topic from multiple texts? This is the challenge offered in Common Core Standard RIT 9. Last week my students and I attempted to tackle this standard and did a darn good job, I think! I thought I would share our process. They created their posters! After completing the process, students revisited their K-W-L charts to finish that last column. May 7, 2013 at 2:45 PM. Love the idea ...

http://www.thirdgradedoodles.com/2012/11/the-best-read-alouds.html
Wednesday, November 28, 2012. I LOVE reading to kids. It is the highlight of my day, every day! The bonus of reading aloud to my class is that they really benefit from it. It is the number one way to get kids excited about reading. Many kids don't "get" how awesome reading is.until you read them that one, really great book that "hooks" them! James and the Giant Peach. And the list goes on. It was because of Mrs. Stubie that I fell in love with reading. I was hooked forever. This week we started the book ...

Flexible Seating - The REAL Scoop! Saturday, November 12, 2016. I took the leap and implemented flexible seating in my classroom this year! Here are the things that I LOVE and the things I DON'T LOVE about it. Students have the opportunity to make decisions about where they sit. This helps them learn about making good choices, being responsible, and taking charge of their own learning. I love that students can MOVE! I can't tell you how this has simplified things! No more late nights trying to work out t...

http://www.thirdgradedoodles.com/2013/09/peek-into-my-classroom.html
Peek Into My Classroom. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. When it comes to classrooms, I can be quite a voyeur. I love to see how other teachers set up their classrooms.it just fascinates me! Sometimes when I'm at school on a Saturday, I will sneak into other classrooms, just to have a peek (shhhhh). It is so great that so many teachers blog about their classrooms and post pictures on Instagram. My iphone 4 takes some pretty awful photographs, but here are some photos I snapped of my corner of the world.
