In which states can a person with an associates degree in early childhood education teach through grade third?We Answered:
With and Associates degree you are eligible to teach in private preschools and daycares. In most states this means 6 weeks to 4 year olds. However, due to no child left behind, many NAEYC accredited facilities now require 4 year old and some 3 year old teachers to also hold their BS in ECED. Most teachers with a BS are also have credentials to teach school up through 3rd grade but this is an additional process that requires further testing and student/resident teaching the first year after receiving your BS. For Oklahoma the process can be found on the state Dept of Ed website. I've included a link below.I'm also including the link to NAEYC and ACEI. ACEI is for US and international teachers, whereas NAEYC is primarily US

How to teach a third grade dyslexic how to read?We Answered:
Children with dyslexia learn in a variety of way. If she cannot read in the 3rd grade, she should be diagnosed as special education and receive services to help her.

Calling All Teachers: Do you have any learning center ideas for third grade?We Answered:
An easy and flexible way to get up and running with centers is by purchasing a series of practical books through Evan-Moor called Take It to Your Seat Learning Centers. There are books for Math Centers, Literacy Centers, Writing Centers, Vocabulary Centers etc.The advantage of this series is that it comes with virtually everything you need to set up the center. You get a shoebox, a twin pocket folder or a coat hanger, cut out the cards and figures in the book decorate it a bit and you're ready to go! Because they are portable you have flexibility regarding where the "center" will be located and how many students can be working at that given center. Because they are almost entirely prefabricated you can get a number of them up and running quickly (as well as learning some basic ideas about how to assemble centers built around your own ideas/specific classroom needs).
You might want to start with these "ready to go" centers. After you've got a number of these up and running, then you could turn your attention to the many terrific ideas that are out there without as much of a time crunch for setup.
I own a few of these. I teach grade four with a wide range of abilities and am therefore using some from both higher and lower grade range books. The ISBN numbers for some of the ones I own that match your grade are:
Take it to Your Seat Literacy Centers (grades 1-3)
ISBN 1-55799-798-5
Take it to Your Seat Math Centers (grades 1-3)
ISBN 1-55799-853-1
Take it to Your Seat Writing Centers (grades 2-3)
ISBN 1-59673-079-X
Take it to Your Seat Writing Centers (grades 3-4)
ISBN 1-59673-080-3
Take it to Your Seat Vocabulary Centers (grades 3-4)
ISBN 1-59673-150-8
There are also ones for geography, science, phonics ... I personally chose the ones above because they were the most applicable or flexibly adaptable to the content that I am mandated to teach.
If you have a scanner, you might want to scan in pictures the pages for each of the centers as you are about to construct them. That way, if pieces go missing you are always just a click away from printing out replacements.
Laminating is always a great idea as well.
Hope that this helps!
