Third Grade Teachers Chatboard

by Jennifer

Jul 12, 2011

lease help! I'm changing grade levels from K to 3rd and I'm starting to think about my new classroom. Can someone please tell me what classroom jobs they have in their classroom? In K we had a lot of jobs, so that every student could have a job, but I know that probably will not be possible in 3rd with a class of about 25ish. Thank you

Change a blackboard into a whiteboard???

by Rosie

Jul 12, 2011

I was just wondering if anyone has used the Idea paint to change a blackboard into a whiteboard. Before I invest in this I would like to find some information on it. I have researched it on the computer but most of the paint stores promote the product. I would rather hear from someone who has used this.How many coats of paint? What's the prep?? Is ...See More

Terryland Lowe's has new whiteboard paint...it is very cool. You can paint over any wall to make a whiteboard.

paula When our school re-opened (14 years ago), White boards were put up over the black boards by the district. A lot of teachers used shower board at the time for student white boards.

After using a white board for this time, I can't imagine how you could "paint" smoothly enough to be able to erase the writing. It is difficult enough to clean a...See More

Wanted: 3rd Grade PenPals

by christie mcdougal

Jul 18, 2011

Would love to find penpals for approx. 40 3rd grade students. Maybe two classrooms would like to participate?? This will be the first year in trying penpals. We are located in northwest Georgia. Thanks! :)

christie Hi Ann. I found a class with about the same number of students as mine. I think it would make it easier to have the same number. I am going to ask our special ed teacher if she is interested in pen pals though. If she is, I will send her your way. Thanks and good luck!

I want to do independent centers...where the students know what they need to accomplish, free choice of how they go about doing it...so much time per day...extension activities for those who complete before times up. I've done centers for years where they get 20 minutes at each center, but I really want to get away from that because we invariable h...See More

Using a Smartboard Everyday for Routine Things

by Trish

Jul 27, 2011

I have a Smartboard in my 3rd grade classroom. I am wanting to find more ways to incorporate it into my everyday routine other than just playing games on it. Please submit your ideas and ways you have found to use it within your classroom.
