I’m linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching after a long, hard day! I’m thinking this 1/2 combo class is stretching me a bit too thin. Looking forward to a weekend to decompress. Our Donors Choose project was funded a few weeks ago and we are loving our new Samsung Chromebooks. We use them daily for math […]
A fun way to get your students to follow directions {hopefully}
I’m guilty as charged. I’m not the best at following directions…especially when it comes to baking. I glaze over the directions and as a result, most of the treats I make end up burnt, tasting funky, or just plain awful. Maybe it’s because I’m impatient??? But let me tell you, my students are the same […]
Five for Friday
This is my first time linking up with Doodle Bugs, and since I’m in a blogging roll tonight, why not keep it going. But really, it’s Friday night, shouldn’t I be doing something a little more social?!?! This week has been bananas, but in a good way. We celebrated our 100th day of school on […]
Teaching Matter with my Firsties
For some reason, this unit has always been one of my favorites. I have improvised it along the years, but got many ideas from a Master Teacher years ago. This unit took us the entire month of January, fitting in Science whenever I could. I also use a lot of G.L.A.D. strategies in most of my […]
Why every Teacher should have a Teacher Instagram
Let’s be honest, we all love looking at photos. If it’s pretty, adorable, or bright, I’m a fan. I created a personal Instagram account in the summer of 2010 when I was living and teaching in Hawaii. At firsts, I thought it was just a photo app that added pretty filters to my photos to […]
The 100th Day of School Celebration
Wow!!! Have we seriously already been scholars for 100 days? Time sure flies! We did several activities from this unit I created (hurry and grab it, it’s only 1.60 until Wednesday). A few days before the big day, I sent home a letter (included in the packet) to parents. I made an extra copy of […]
Winter Love Giveaway
I don’t know about you, but it was hard to head back to school after two glorious weeks in my jammies, catching up on lots of horrible TV {I’m a reality junkie}, sleeping in, and doing just a tiny bit of school work. But I’ll be honest, being back the last two weeks has been […]
How to prepare for Parent Conferences
Let’s be honest, many teachers dread parent conferences!!! I can totally relate, I use to feel the same way. When I first began teaching, parents intimidated me. But over the years, I’ve learned that building a strong, trusting relationships with your students’ parents goes along way. That wasn’t news to me, I learned that […]
Some Classroom Blog Tips: Getting Started
If you’re reading this, you’re probably already a fabulous techie teacher who is also a nighttime blogger, so class blogs are a cinch for you. But if you don’t have one yet, here are some reasons why you need to create one immediately! I don’t know about you, but I’m huge on parent communication. The […]
What Elfie has been up to…
I’m linking up with Mel over at Seusstastic to share how I used the Elf on the Shelf this year. Let me preface this post by saying introducing an elf to our class added a lot of excitement and a bit of a headache because December had SO much going on. Overall, I’d definitely do it again. […]
