Sometimes, students make bad choices… but it doesn’t make them a bad kid. I hope we communicate that message to our students. Tomorrow is a new day.

@crystal_woodin I can’t wait to see Noah’s golf cookies!!!

Kids supporting kids! We are so lucky we got the chance to visit @NanElizabeth21’s class today to watch their performance of I Need My Monster! #thirdgraderocks #pbmustangs #readerstheater

Interviewing classmates about reading today. Listening to them talk about their reading life is my favorite! 😍#readinglives #thirdgraderocks #pbmustangs #gvr5

Seeing that my kiddos are set on making it the best year yet for reading gets me fired up! #readwithallmight #findtheperfectbook #pbmustangs #gvr5 #ilovereading #3rdgraderocks

@Angie_S2003 Way to go Addison! Send me a pic of your painting!!

When it’s too loud to do schoolwork you paint! #newhousewindows @MrsLightnerGVS

When you’ve made it a whole week through your virtual teaching journey and it happens to be “future career day,” things just might get a little crazy! #pbmustangs #stayingrelevant #keepthesekidsengaged #virtualteaching

@MageeTeach I love this idea!!!!

Doing some personalized shoutouts to connect with my students during this tough time and hoping to get all students by the end of the week. I am blown away by the support of my classroom families! Thank you for helping your children blossom during this time! #meteach

My first official virtual teaching day is in the books! Despite not being together in one building, we all wore our school shirts and wrote a list of our top ten reasons we love PBE! #pbmustangs #cometogether #virtuallearning #iteach

@GVHS_lmc Ready to be my new co-teacher for third grade at PBE!

Show me a picture of your new co-workers and classmates! Here is one of mine:

@K6Tech352 @DoInkTweets @AppleEDU @Flipgrid @quivervision @lrothmier this is a cool idea for next year’s Read Across America Week!!!!

The Masked Reader- Who could they be?!? #themaskedreader @DoInkTweets @AppleEDU @Flipgrid @quivervision

We have officially started our fairytale unit! I can’t wait to see what these kids design in their own fairytales! #pbmustangs #fairytales #tcrwp #immersionday

I love the fact that, no matter how bad our “to do list” gets screwed up, no matter how many times the copier breaks, no matter how bad our lesson bombs… we always have the ability to be nice to kids… to make them smile. I love that.

Today is one of my favorite days of the year- dress like a story book character day!!! I love seeing how creative the kids can get with their outfits! #pbelovesreading #pbmustangs #iteach #readacrossamerica

Today was the perfect day to have a guest reader in our class! It also happens to be Read Across America Week and the book she chose, My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother by Patricia Polacco! #PBElovesreading #pbmustangs #diversebooks #iteach

@MrsSmith_2013 @etwiehaus I might have to jump on this lesson band wagon! @etwiehaus we will have to schedule a day for a visit!

Thank you @etwiehaus for coming in today & not only teaching my/our kiddos, but teaching me as well!! Love to share my classroom with you! ❤️

Happy Read Across America Week! Today, we are celebrating by reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by @LauraNumeroff and eating some yummy cookies! #pbmustangs #PBElovesreading #iteach #thirdgraderocks

@MrsSmith_2013 You are welcome! Glad it came in handy this week! I think it’s a great tool for the editing process too!

A quick way to check in with your writers & where they are at in the opinion writing process... ✍🏼 Thanks @MrsLightnerGVS for the idea! #PBMustangs #GVEaglePD #writersworkshop #thirdgrade

I love my students’ creativity! This boy has been hard at work making his own board game during our indoor recess sessions and we finally got a chance to play! #pbmustangs #iteachthird #creativity

We had a blast learning about science “fruits” and science “vegetables” today! We even got the chance to look at the two different types up close! #mysteryscience #thirdgraderocks #pbmustangs
