I am a third grade teacher in California! I am excited to be an educator learning and growing with my students!

We had a great time making our Mother's Day gift! #sheldoninnovate

So important to ensure that stdts understand fractions! Thankful for being able to adjust teaching to accommodate that understanding. #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

So glad we are covering fractions! It's amazing how much I forgot since school. Feel better about fractions in my future classroom. #m222

Creating a semi-personal and engaging context can make the world of difference in involving students in problem solving. #m222

Landscapes of learning =helpful, neat to to see where stdnts are! So important to let stdnts discuss and learn from each other! #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Today reiterated just how important the open array and forgiving methods are. I wish I had learned them in elementary school! #m222

Last day w/ Sibley students. It was fun to see them grow and the smiles on their faces after receiving our thank you cards! #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Interesting to see through my classmates experiences how children learn from their peers. I'm going to look for it on Thursday. #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Amazing to see the Sibley students growing each time we meet with them! Great to see their thought processes when doing math. #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Alternative algorithms are important to teach students so they have multiple ways to solve problems. #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Good 2nd day with Sibley stdnts! Amazing to see my own and their growth with math. Love the age where kids still love school! #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Watchig the CGI videos, I see the importance of allowing stdnts time to solve prblms, while staying quiet and patient as the tchr #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

The midterm really reiterated the importance of collaboration and discussion. Good work group! #m222.

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

It was interesting to discuss what our students portrayed during the interviews that we had seen or talked about in class. #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

1st meeting with stdnt today. Experienced the importance and relevance of using interviews to guide teaching, planning, and assessment #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Important to collaborate, practice, and discuss plans and activities with partners or colleagues. #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Learned the importance of interviews and assessments for the benefit of the teacher and students. #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Teaching in ways in which I did not learn. Number strings are about making "friendly" numbers to work with mentally. #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Today reinforced the benefits of gallery walks and the importance of teaching stdnts place value and giving them ways/time to practice #m222

[Jordan @JS_McCarthy]

Let stdnts create their own methods for problem solving/ let stdnts adopt other stdnt's methods. Be patient with learning + teaching! #m222
