Moving from 3rd to 2nd grade next year. Who has advice for me? #teaching #education #elementary #EduSky

Buy this book if you teach kids about place value! Learn the history and think about the concept of zero... #teachers #EduSky #booksky #picturebooks

Student: I like your shoes Mr. Wheeler
Me: thanks!
Student: They look like something my great grandma would have worn.
Me: Thanks. Internally 😬

Just threw away a months worth of plans!!! #EduSky #teaching #3rdgrade

Today we will make time for independent & joyful reading! Related, a couple of weeks ago I introduced a student to the Bad Guys series and he finally found a book he loved. He started book 5 this week. #readers #3rdgrade #EduSky #teaching

Teachers! Don't forget to find fun. I've made it my 2nd priority this week...find time for fun. Sometimes with a purpose and... sometimes you just need to put on a full unicorn mask 🦄 #teachers #EduSky #3rdgrade

I leave reminder notes on student desks to encourage a continued conversation between myself and students. It reminds me and the kids. Some are assignment related but others are based on classroom jobs. Our classroom mission requires all of us to engage! #EduSky #classroom #teachers

I'm the kind of teacher who organized his table and finds notes like this and thinks "what was I reading, listening to, or generally referring to when I wrote this down?" 🤷🏻‍♂️ #EduSky

Third graders, right? Love it!

Calm before the 3rd grade storm?
Or boring before the fun starts?
