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!
