Welcome!


Welcome to Colorful Sparks in the Third Grade!  This is my first blog, and I am very excited to get it started.  I am entering my second year of teaching.  Last year I taught 5th grade, and now I am beginning a new journey with 3rd graders.

Much of this summer I have spent figuring out a new curriculum and sorting through materials left behind in my newly inherited classroom.  This upcoming year my school is starting a writer’s workshop program using materials designed by Lucy Calkins. I have become very excited about setting up this workshop and how it might look in my own classroom.  (More to come on this later!)

This is a year in which I have to start working on my Professional Development Plan to remain licensed in Wisconsin.  I intend to share ideas I have created and write down thoughts that will aid me in creating, documenting, and implementing this plan throughout the year.

So, WELCOME!  Feel free to comment!
