Congratulations on all your big milestones!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteOh... and my recommendation.... If something isn't working for you, don't be afraid to change it. You don't have to wait until next year to implement new routines/expectations/etc.
ReplyDeleteI forget this all the time, and always leave things until the next term, or year! Great advice - thanks!!

WOOHOO! Everything looks great. I noticed the changes earlier this week. I'm not sure if I left a comment or not. All of my days are running together. I think you should try Edmodo in your class this year if you don't already. I love everything that Edmodo has to offer including being able to store links to websites, videos, etc. for the students to go back and access at any time in the class 'library'. It is so very helpful!

Ooo I don't know about edmodo - I think I've found what I'll be doing tomorrow! Researching!! Thanks so much!

Hmm.... Something new to try in your class this year... if you use IPads in the classroom a great behavior app is Class Dojo. Thanks! kindercards@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love class dojo! Thanks for reminding me of it :)
DeleteErin
A new behaviour chart system!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Gotta make everything look good :)

Read to you students every day...either a novel or picture books. During National Poetry Month, I like to read at least one poem a day to them!
ReplyDeleteRosie
I think National Poetry Month must be an America thing - we don't have that here in New Zealand! Absolutely love reading to my kids though! I tend to forget towards the end of the year, and need to get way better at being consistent with this!! Thanks!!

Your blog looks great! Just using iPads in the classroom generates excitement enough!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I'm totally in love with it!
DeleteI (fingers crossed) am getting some ipads in my classroom this year!! I'm trying really hard not to get too excited, as our school has a bad habit of promising one thing and then putting it off for ages. My buddy teacher was supposed to have them last year, but it didn't happen - hopefully this year!!
excitement plus!!
Erin
I agree with Rose that you should read to your kids every day....which is something I need to continue to remind myself! Also, make sure that you and the kids laugh every day!
ReplyDeleteLaughter is definitely not in short supply in my class! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Good luck with the giveaway!!
DeleteErin
Congrats on your milestone. So happy to be part of it!
ReplyDeleteI have tried Edmodo, it is pretty cool if you can make it work for you!
Good luck!
btw... I may have messed up the link of where I blogged about your giveaway. I couldn't undo.

Thanks Elizabeth! I had a quick look at edmodo - but not sure if it will work with my kids as most of them don't have access to the internet. Will still give it a go!
DeleteAll good about the share - I saw it :)

Learning to be awesome
I would suggest trying some Whole Brain Teaching (WBT). I use it and love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I love WBT! I need to get better at it though - I do have a few things that have worked really well in the past!

Thanks for the giveaway! Have you tried interactive notebooks? I teach 1st grade and I'm going to try an INB for math when we get back from break. ~Melissa

You're so welcome! Thanks for stopping by! I have not tried interactive notebooks before - and I'm not 100% sure I even know what they are! I see more research coming my way! thanks for sharing.

Hi! Your blog looks wonderful! I have my students work on character education lots. We use tear tabs and surprise one another with lovely messages, especially on Valentine's Day! Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI'd say plan ahead for lessons and STICK with it. I tend to change my plans once I see cute/creative stuff on blog posts/TpT/Pinterest... So I'm going to try to stick to my original plans as my New Year's Resolution!

Thanks for the giveaway! Your new blog looks great! My students love to be the teacher for a day. Brings out the best in ALL of them!
ReplyDeleteGreat new look! Technology rocks! If you have it, kids love it.
ReplyDeleteYour blog design is lovely! My students are into all of the reward incentive programs on the ipads!
