I will be writing homework on the board about 170ish more times this year. That’s a lot of times. I had hoped to do a weekly HW board, but I just can’t sacrifice the board space. At least I can save myself some marker strokes by using these subject titles for my little Homework nook…
Way back light years ago early in my planning mode, I decided to give the behavior clip chart a try… but with a little angry birds twist! I think I first heard of the behavior clip chart from Haylee’s fabulous kindergarten teacher. I guess I thought of it more of as a primary grade thing,…
Today is the really BIG day. It is our FIRST day of school! The last week and a half have been exhausting and I have TONS of things to show and share with you! I just need to take pics of everything! Monday was Wade’s first day of 4K! That night was also our…
I love to play games in the classroom to reinforce learning and review material. I play games in the classroom A LOT, so I need to have a list of games ready to keep things interesting, engaging, and fresh! One great game is Zap! The way I’ve always played it is to write the letters…
Aren’t lesson plans like the funnest part of teaching?? Oh… uh, no? One crazy thing about teaching the same grade and subjects multiple years is the fact that you end up hand writing much of the SAME THINGS year after year! What a waste! I’ve typed my lesson plans for two years, though, OF COURSE,…
People… we have less than THREE week until I’m back to school! Three more weeks of the prepping madness, and then it turns into an all out tornado during our Teacher In-Service week. :) Of course, that’s in between teacher meetings and gab sessions with the other teachers, you know. Part of my goal in…
We are BACK TO SCHOOL again today withanother Printable! :) This one is great not only for classroom teachers, but also for homeschool mamas… as well as for any cool mom or dad that wants to help their kiddo with those pesky math facts. As an upper elementary teacher, I’m not the one who teaches…
Happy 4th of July!! Hope you all have some fun family events planned. I’m sure we will be eating LOTS and LOTS of food and enjoying the sun and maybe some fireworks too. :) You know what they say… once the 4th of July rolls around, that means THE SUMMER IS OVER! Right? :) Or…
“Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19 Life has some funny twists and turns. Just…
{image via} I learned how to type when I was 16. In typing class. I think it was even on an actual TYPEWRITER not a computer! We are living in a DIFFERENT world now. As a computer teacher I started working with the cutie pie KINDERGARTENERS getting them used to typing on the keyboards. Granted…
