Now a Hoover Hawk!

July 3, 2018 / amandacoan / Leave a comment

Keeping in mind my goal of becoming a literacy coach within my school district, I have made a change in grades and schools for next year. Instead of teaching at the elementary level, I will now be moving up to middle school, teaching 6th grade language arts. I am sad to be leaving my Lowell … Continue reading Now a Hoover Hawk!

Things are coming together…

July 31, 2017July 31, 2017 / amandacoan / Leave a comment

I'm feeling a little relieved since I just finished my last graduate class for the summer. It was definitely a major feat! Now that I have a three week break before my next graduate class starts I'm focusing on getting ready for the upcoming school year. I am excited to say that I almost have … Continue reading Things are coming together…

Bye-Bye, Long Hair!

August 4, 2016August 4, 2016 / amandacoan / Leave a comment

So... Last year, I had a homework system that worked pretty well. Students read and wrote about the book, practiced their word sort, and worked on a few math facts. They did this every night Monday through Thursday each week. Each day the adults in my room would look over their work and give them … Continue reading Bye-Bye, Long Hair!

Monitoring the Standards

January 18, 2016January 17, 2016 / amandacoan / Leave a comment

Like any teacher, I do a lot of progress monitoring. One of the things that I track is the standards that we complete in third grade. In order to do this efficiently, I created excel sheets with all of the third grade standards based on the Common Core and the Iowa Core. I have the … Continue reading Monitoring the Standards

Homework

January 17, 2016January 16, 2016 / amandacoan / 1 Comment

Last year, I got the idea of what I want my students' homework to look like from my son's kindergarten teacher. I created a homework system for my students.  Each student receives a reading bag (numbered so I can reuse year after year), a folder, composition notebook, and homework log. My students do their homework … Continue reading Homework

Crazy Teacher Lady Update

January 16, 2016January 16, 2016 / amandacoan / Leave a comment

It's been way too long since I've last posted, but I'm going to blame it on being busy teaching and parenting. Between co-teaching third grade, coaching Jr. Lego League, being a team leader, a mom, a wife, and expecting- life has not been dull. To top it off, I have put in my graduate application … Continue reading Crazy Teacher Lady Update
