In this teacher vlog, I’m taking you along for a super busy October week in my 3rd grade classroom, and we’re really leaning into teaching writing. October always feels like it speeds up (all the routines are set, but the to-do list somehow gets longer), so this is one of those real-life weeks where I’m juggling a lot while still trying to keep our classroom running smoothly. I’m sharing what teaching writing looks like for me during this time—how I keep things practical, manageable, and realistic in the middle of a packed month. If you’re in the thick of fall teaching and you’re trying to stay consistent with your writing block (without overcomplicating it), this vlog is for you. And of course, I’m also sharing little bits of real life along the way, because that’s just part of my week too. If you want to see what I’m using in my classroom right now, I’ve linked my classroom wishlist and my Amazon storefront so you can easily find what I’m loving.
