What’s Different about the New 3rd Grade Florida BEST Math Standards?

January 9, 2023 by Sara Leave a Comment

Have you asked yourself recently what’s the difference between the old Florida standards (MAFS but mostly common core) and the new 3rd grade Florida BEST math standards?  

I was wondering the same thing so I did some research on the fldoe.org website and I found three major differences.  The differences center around number sense and operations, algebraic reasoning, and geometric reasoning. These three domains have brand new standards for 3rd grade math.

3rd Grade Math Journal Example

January 2, 2023 by Sara Leave a Comment

As a new teacher I wanted to see the perfect 3rd grade math journal example. My first few years I randomly used the math journal as an afterthought and bits and pieces of different lessons were scattered throughout the journals. Then I decided to become intentional and created my own lessons to use with my students organized by the standards. Check out the 3rd grade math journal example I developed below.

5 Tips for a Great School Year

September 6, 2022 by Sara Leave a Comment

Looking to start the year off right? Check out my 5 tried and true favorite tips for a great school year. 

Save Extras for a Great School Year

Create extra folders for the new students that show up at your classroom door at 10 am on a Tuesday. Pick a cabinet or dedicate a shelf in your closet to make room. Try to secure at least 1-2 copies of each textbook. Label the journals and folders. I even suggest using a little zip lock bag with pencils and scissors to help new students get through the day. Lastly put ALL the back-to-school forms, welcome letters, and permission slips in a special folder to give new parents when they drop their child off or to send home the first day. Having it all prepared makes the new student feel welcomed while making it easier for you to play a fun ice breaker game for them instead of feeling stressed and printing and looking for supplies.

Things I Wish I Knew as a New Teacher

July 28, 2022 by Sara Leave a Comment

I still fondly remember the excitement and uncertainty I felt as a new teacher. I started teaching mid-year in a classroom with a co-teacher and 36 students. It was such a blessing, almost like a second internship where I had time to learn the school and curriculum with the support of a veteran teacher. The following year I moved to my own classroom and taught all subjects. Imposter syndrome led to me thinking, talking, and working on school “stuff” nonstop. My relationships, budget and health suffered. If you are a new teacher or find yourself in this teacher trap, then check out my 3 tips below.
