Every day after lunch, we come back on zoom & get all snuggled up to enjoy Lynda Mullaly Hunt’s Fish In a Tree as our first quarter read aloud. One of my favorite parts of the day!

More books from last week to continue our beginning of the year identity unit!

Today’s read alouds!

[Jessica Slade @sladein3rdgrade]

Read Aloud time right after lunch!
These are the books we started out with these first two days. Our focus is on our identities and what makes us all unique and what makes us all the same.

Today we got a new student! I walked into my classroom this morning & there was a note on the board from my students that said, “Welcome Home, ____” with our new student’s name. Needless to say, my heart melted. #iteachthird #thirdgradeworld #lindberghlearns #SEL #mydarlings

[Jessica Slade @sladein3rdgrade]

So excited for today’s learning as we dive into proficiency scales. Participating in work that aligns with my personal teaching philosophy is a worthwhile experience. #lindberghlearns #professionallearning #curriculumteam

“You need to Maslow before you can Bloom.” How do Ss know how to take care of their mental health so they can effectively learn? Well, you teach them of course! #slade3rdgrade #whywefly #lindberghlearns

When your students are writing end of year reflections & completely nail what you’ve been trying to instill in them all year long. “You succeed as long as you learn.” ❤️😭 #bestillmyheart #proudteacher #LindberghLearns #our3rdgradeworld

Thanks to 2 Lindbergh Grants this year... I now have my envisioned “resources” area in my classroom. Anchor charts from previous learning, growth mindset awards, the tech deck, examples/rubrics, mentor texts, space for projects, etc! #LindberghLearns #longpto
