Are you required to have a focus wall in your classroom?  When I was teaching this was something we were required to have updated and on display at all times.  Was it more work for me? The short answer, yes.  However, it also cut down on my work because it made me be more organized and once I figured out a system it was easy. Obviously, what is included in a focus wall will vary by grade levels.  I taught fourth grade so I was required to display learning targets, or objectives, for each lesson.  I also displayed spelling words for each week, vocabulary for the subjects, and the genre we we ..read more

The first science lesson to start fourth grade while I was in the classroom was about the scientific method.  It was the foundation for our labs and hands on activities.  We used the scientific method daily.  Because of that, my students needed to really know it and understand it in order to be able to use it.  I figured I would share a few tips, lessons, and activities that I found helpful when teaching the scientific method.  What is the scientific method?  It's a process used to explore our observations and answer questions.  There are 6 steps and they are: In teaching any new topic (o ..read more

I left the classroom after the 2014-2015 school year when I had my son.  I would love to say I found the perfect work, life balance after teaching for 10 years but unfortunately I didn't.  I answered parent and administration emails at all hours, worked too late into the night, worked an unhealthy amount of time on weekends, and was consumed by all the things in my classroom.
