Day In The Life Of A Third Grade Teacher

My Day to Day

My mornings start with a classroom setup followed by a circle meeting where we share respect and attention. We engage in activities that foster a supportive environment, essential for my multilingual students. I integrate multiple languages into our lessons, and we laugh together as I attempt Russian or Spanish. My role extends beyond teaching academics; it's about nurturing a community where every child feels valued and empowered to shape their future.
