Thriving Third Grade

This is a resource I use daily in my classroom. You can use is for your ESE and regular ed children. I like to attach it to any work that the students received assistance on. It is great documentation to keep on student work.

CHAMPS behavior management poster. You can use push pins to add the arrows to each poster or use magnets as an alternative. I used this daily and during every transition. I laminated mine, put magnet strips on the back, and hung them vertically on my whiteboard. Great decor too!

These activities were created for the book Polar Bears by Mark Newman from the third grade Making Meaning kit. We started with the double entry journal. Students would write their wondering about the book in the left column. As we read through the book they would write what they learned in the left column. Also included is an exit ticket and a 5 question assessment that you could use for a grade.

Twenty two weeks of spelling words to add to your third grade classroom. There are three word lists on each page. Every Monday I would staple the spelling list into each child's agenda/planner. This was a great way to make sure they didn't lose their list. On Fridays I would give them the spelling test. Enjoy :)

Great cuts outs for a seasonal bulletin board when teaching drama, prose, and poetry.

This third grade retention checklist was created to organize student scores and to assist teachers and administrators in keeping track of students who will/will not need to be retained. With third grade being a mandatory retention grade based off of reading FSA scores, it was important to keep track of the process.

This Student Job Ad is what I used to remind my students of our classroom job duties. I laminated it on some colorful card stock and placed it on the whiteboard in our classroom. I would assign one student for each job every week. They love it!!!

Reading Logs are a great way for students to track their reading throughout the year. You can take them as a grade or use as an incentive. My students were able to turn in a completed sheet for a treat. The file is as a word document so you can change the information in the header!

Uppercase and lowercase alphabet flashcard for early learning.

A simple coloring page activity for teaching preschool students different shapes. The worksheet could be used for coloring, painting, or matching smaller shapes into the shapes on the page.

Seasonal point of view poster. Great resource to keep in students reading journals too!

The text feature journal entry is used during independent reading time. Each child writes an entry in their journal about a nonfiction book. They are to touch on each bullet point from the worksheet.

Binder tabs that I use to stay organize. Print on colored or designed card stock to add a personal touch.
