Teri, I'm sure my students would really enjoy getting to know your students. My class size hasn't been finalized yet, but I expect it to be between 22-27 students...See More

TBD Barb,

This sounds wonderful. There is quite a contrast because we live in a small rural area. My email is Teri.[email removed]

Lisa Do you mean how do YOU keep track of their papers, or how can you help THEM keep track of their papers?

I used to have the kids keep their papers in color coordinated duo-tangs (red for math, blue for science, etc.) but they drove me crazy! After observing another teacher use binders effectively, that's what I do. I buy 1" binders on sale...See More

Word Problems

by tmp

Jul 29, 2011

Hi, I am looking for some multi step word problem worksheets. I would prefer only addition/subtraction problems but some simple multiplication can work too.

Any ideas of sites that I could find some printable worksheets?

Thanks in advance, Therese

3rd grade guided reading books?

by Ally

Aug 2, 2011

Hi everyone! I'm an EIP support teacher this year (yay!), and it's my first year in 3rd grade. I'm serving in Reading and LA. I'm looking for some good 3rd grade guided reading books/novels to start the year. Could you all list a few books your 3rd graders enjoy and can comprehend early in the year? Thank you! Allyson

Ally Can anyone offer suggestions? I kind of miss how the board used to be clumped into lower and upper grades. It was a lot more active back then.

I could really use some suggestions from someone who has taught 3rd grade before...just list a few of your favorite guided reading books, particularly for kids who read below grade level. Thank you...See More

I know that students who don't know their times tables in 5th grade often struggle with math, so if you can teach them their times tables, that helps them not make so many 5th grade math errors. If you want to s...See More

This will be my first year teaching the Macmillan/McGraw Hill "Math Connects" series...It seems pretty challenging to me, but then, that's one reason it was chosen! Any tips or thoughts from any of you who have taught with this series? Thx
