A Must!

By now, I am so sure that you have heard about the Clever School Teacher! It is a must know for any teacher! This is an excellent resource that will help you with all of your literature needs. I know that I spend HOURS looking for the perfect book to enhance instruction. This site does all of the work for you. It offers over 300,000 books, so you are sure to find the perfect book to support all of your instructional needs!

I just placed an order for a set of books that will challenge my sweet students and will have them inferring up a storm! Plus, I love the rich literature that they will become exposed to along the way! :)

You can check out this amazing site by clicking on the picture below, or by clicking on the image located on my sidebar. You will be so glad that you did!!!

I also wanted to share something that I have been working on. Since I experimented with buyers/sellers in second grade, I have been all about building a classroom economy to motivate students throughout the year while teaching them essential life skills. I am putting all of the pieces together, but this method will incorporate classroom jobs, buyers, sellers, banking skills…the whole nine yards. Since our “Corporation Day” was such a huge success, this classroom economy will also highlight the students creating products to sale independently {aside from the school store}. I know how much they loved that experience in second grade, so they are sure to be all about it in third!

Do you have a classroom economy? If so, I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

I am off to run with our high school cross country team! Say a little prayer for me! :)
