Did any third grade teacher in Texas use the Daily five last year. I am thinking about incorporating it into my curriculum this fall and I wondered how it worked with TEKS and the STAAR test. Did the scores improve significantly on STAAR when Daily 5 was used or could you tell. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you looking for a great postcard exchange? We have one, and just need a few new teachers to join us. We take all grade levels K-5 for our Postcard Exchange. I provide labels of all the addresses for free. Please email me if you teach in these states only:
Need Alaska, Delaware, Vermont, and West Virginia

You really will get a huge response, because the majority of the teachers in our group have participated year after year, so we can count on them.
Here is some info: We are in our 12th year of our 50-State Postcard Exchange! I include one teacher for each state. We have had an excellent response rate with the prior postcard exchanges we have had. We only have a few states available, due to some teachers dropping out. If you don’t see your state listed here, then it is not available. If you want to join, and you teach at one of the states listed above, please email me.
What's great about this exchange is that the teachers are all positive and involved in this project, so the odds are extremely high that you will receive 50 postcards in late October - one from each state, plus one from Washington, D.C., and Canada too.
Besides having this be a great Social Studies project, you can make it a Language Arts project too. The students can write a short note about their state. The teachers use a store-bought card representative of their state. Some students write their own note about their state on the back of the postcard, and some teachers copy and glue a message for each card. Whatever you want to do is up to you! Our postcard exchange includes teachers from K-5th grade levels.
Once you are in our exchange, I can email you everyone's address so your students can address the postcards, or if you prefer, I will mail labels of the mailing addresses for the other teachers involved - no cost to you! All you have to do is have your students bring in commercially-made postcards from your state and mail one postcard to each teacher in our exchange.
We will all mail the postcards out in late October, and in a few weeks after that you will receive a postcard from each of the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Canada.
I hope you can join us!

I am a college student from Illinois who is taking a summer math class. As part of this class 2 Projects must be completed, the first of which, involves interviewing an elementary (grades 1-6) math teacher. The questionnaire is basic, though detail would be most appreciated. Unfortunately, my work ethic is procrastination based and the essay I need to complete for the Project is due Friday evening. Please, If you are qualified and at all interested, contact me either by replying to this post or emailing me at [email removed]
Thank you.
Hi all! As we all are, I am striving to increase my students' immersion in the writing process...including during their daily/weekly homework time. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi - I've been moved from 1st grade to 3rd grade this year. In 1st, I used a daily behavior report binder to communicate with parents (we wrote homework in it too).
I was wondering if this is something that is done or could be done in 3rd grade too? Does anyone have a sample that they can share?
Thanks

Hi there,
New to third grade and wondering what others do first thing in the morning. What sort of activities and routines start off your day? Thanks!
I'm looking for educational apps for third grade, any suggestions?
