Third grade teachers implement a new technique that received a very good welcoming from the students. This method consists rotating each teacher to the six different classes to teach them a lesson based on what they are learning.

This technique helped little kids breaking  the daily routine and motivating them to work harder in a whole new environment. They already used this method in the Egypt topic. The pros overcome the cons, therefore they are looking forward to continuing this new system.

“We are trying to work together as a 3rd grade team to teach other classes more often so that each 3rd grade class has the opportunity to get to know the other teachers. All of the teachers are really enjoying this experience of teaching all classes. For the Egypt unit each teacher was in charge to prepare 2 lessons to teach them to each class, so instead of preparing 12 lessons we prepare 2 really well,” Brett Roeper, a 3rd grade teacher said.

This helped the kids to have a better insight and knowledge of the topic, thats way they really responded to this technique in a very positive way. The teachers are not the only ones enjoying this new system; the 3rd graders are more excited to implement this method forever.

“Changing teachers takes us out from the daily routine, and converts an ordinary day into an extraordinary day. Also it motivates us to make a better work because we want to make a good impression to the other teachers,” Matias Gomez a 3rd grade student said. Having the opportunity to learn from different teachers is a privilege that haven’t happened in other grades. Is a new experience that help us other stand better the topic,” Martina Botero a 3rd grade student said.

The positive impact that this system has had on 3rd grade is so huge that they are planning continuing with this method for the rest of the year and for the feature.

¨We are going to try it for our dinosaur and fossil unit see how it goes, because it had such successes the first time, and also because the kids love it,” Roeper said.
