About Me

My Photo
Fran Richardson
Welcome to my blog!I'm a teacher of fourth graders in a beautiful, small, rural town. I moved here a few years ago, but I have taught 19 of my 24 years in this same small town that is now my home. My experience is in teaching second, third, and fourth grades with one year in sixth grade. I am always reading, learning, and reflecting on what goes on in my classroom. I love the work that I do with the parents, my fellow teachers, and most all-my students.I hope you will enjoy reading my blog.

Still Thinking About INTENTION...

3:16 PM | Posted by Fran Richardson | | Edit Post
Here's a Wordle  I created at wordle.net where I combined a paper about my teaching beliefs with what social studies literacy is included in my fourth grade standards. It made for an interesting mix! I think I might print this and have it near my teacher desk/ computer next year as a way to remind me of what I have to teach but alsowhat I believe helps students learn best.

MY BELIEFS ABOUT TEACHING

"I bear the flame that enlightens the world. I fire the imagination. I give might to dreams and wings to the aspirations of men." - Marva Collins, from her poem, "I Am Excellence."
