Welcome to the "Mini-Wheat" classroom!

My name is Brandi Wheat and I am a 3rd grade teacher. I love being a teacher. The "a-ha" moment when a student 'gets it" is the best experience! (I refer to my students as "mini-wheats" as well as my own children!)
The school year begins! Welcome to the new school year! I'm super excited about all the new adventures we will be embarking on this year.

Here are a few websites we will be using this year! 

Poetry- its just like the fridge! :)
