In just three weeks, we will go back to school! Boy summer sure does fly by! At any rate, it is time to prepare. What can you do before school starts to help throughout the year? Well, I have a few things I did that might be helpful for you, as well. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first thing I have done is prepare my </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">student birthday gifts</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> in advance. I went to the Dollar Tree and bought these lollipops. </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255); color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then, I created a sticker label to put on the </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">Carnival Pop</span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 255); color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> side. Finally, I wrapped the lollipops in cellophane with colorful, curling ribbon. BAM, all 22 of my birthday gifts are ready! </span><br />

I decided I would use the left overs for my Economics Behavior Store. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Which leads me to my next summer prep item.... The </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Economics Positive Behavior Store</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">. I want to really push this store at the beginning of the year. This has been and will continue to be my way of encouraging positive behavior throughout the year. So, I had to print and laminate the dollars I use for the store years ago. I collect and keep these dollars to use from year to year. I want to have my store on display the first two weeks, so the students will see what they could buy with their bucks. So, now is the time to start collecting items for the store. I called several restaurants and asked for any donations of toy treats for the store. I also printed homework passes and Lunch Bunch passes. </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lunch Bunch </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">simply means the student can eat with the teacher. Lunch Bunch is always a big hit. Candy is too! I am sure to let the students "shop" after week two of school to get them excited about the store. Then, I only let them shop before a break. You can decide what works best for you. Some days I come in with a pack of candy and tell the students it is a one day sale. I usually do this when I am running low on bucks and need more to pass out to the students!</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another thing I try to do every summer is invest in more </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">FLEXIBLE SEATING</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">. I buy something every summer to add to my classroom. This year I purchased two more wobble stools, which means I have 5 now! I let five students a day sit on a wobble stool at their desk. The next day, five more students get them until everyone has had a chance. Then, we start the rotation over again!! The students look forward to their day for the stools! I also purchased the multi-colored stools to sit around the kidney table. I took my own children's spider chairs to school because they did not use them anymore. Now my only problem is I have nowhere to store all the classroom chairs!!! </span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> I've been doing a lot of reading so far this summer break! First, I wanted to read something that had nothing to do with creating products for TPT. I started with</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><u style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Selection Series</u></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> by Kiera Cass. These books were wonderful. The audience is intended for young teen, but I enjoyed them all the same. I am currently reading the next book, </span><u style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Heir</span></u><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">.</span></div>

</span><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, I had to think about my own children. I wanted to read whatever they were reading so I could ask comprehension questions along the way. I was impressed with my 9 year old's choice of <u>I Survived, The Nazi Invasion, 1944</u> by Lauren Tarshis. I love these historical fiction books that expose our children to events of the past. I got a little carried away and decided to tell him all about Anne Frank. I even showed him the Annex virtual tour. Well, that scared him to death. I think it was the spooky music they played while visiting the virtual tour! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So, now I am off to reading some more of the <u>My Weirder School</u> and <u>My Weirdest School</u> series books. These are the books that made my child a reader, so I have to be very thankful for the author who wrote them.

school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">So the challenge took
place from Monday at 12:00 A.M. until Friday at midnight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have not really exercised since Hilton Head,
so I decided, “What the heck?!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">First, I had to buy a
new <span style="color: green;">battery</span> for my Zip. I have had my <span style="color: red;">Fitbit</span>
for so long, that the <span style="color: green;">battery</span> had died. Sunday was the first day with my <span style="color: red;">Fitbit</span> back on to measure my steps. Well, let’s just say, I should have left it
off. That’s the day we went to <span style="color: #5f497a; mso-themecolor: accent4; mso-themeshade: 191;">Topgolf, </span>and<span style="color: #5f497a; mso-themecolor: accent4; mso-themeshade: 191;"> </span>I
barely got up! Therefore, the challenge
that was beginning that night was not looking good for me. However, Monday morning, the first day of the
challenge, I woke up ready to conquer!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">HERE’S WHERE <span style="color: red;">FITBIT</span> CRAZINESS BEGINS!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Walking at school was not a challenge because
I do that anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The challenge began
when I got home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I basically
walked from the time I got home until we left for the golf course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, I walked 9 holes of golf!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I left the golf course, I had over
24,000 steps in for the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had never
walked more than 15,000!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It didn’t
stop there!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I got home, I kept
walking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I walked until I collapsed in
bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Needless to say, after day one, I
was ahead of the group.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">Day 2 was very similar, and I remained in the lead after Tuesday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Wednesday <span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT CRAZY NUMBER 1</span> entered
my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT
CRAZY NUMBER 1 </span>told me she usually walked about 25,000 steps a day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well the race was on, and she was ready to
compete.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since she said she only walked
25,000 steps a day, I decided to watch <u>Nashville</u> sitting down, rather than
walking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>BIG MISTAKE!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the day, <span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT
CRAZY NUMBER 1 </span>decided to pull ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On my lowest step day of the week, 24,000, <span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT CRAZY NUMBER 1</span> walked
36,000 steps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yep, by Thursday night she
had pulled ahead 20,000 steps!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">Meanwhile, at school,
all the students were sending me messages from <span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT
CRAZY NUMBER 1</span> to tell me not to walk at recess, to just relax!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My children at home were telling me <span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT CRAZY NUMBER 1</span> told them to tell me to go
to bed by 9:00 P.M.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My husband wanted to
call her and tell her the competition was over!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Her husband wanted to call ME and tell me to settle down!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The truth was, we were killing ourselves just
for bragging rights!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: navy;">BUT WE WERE HAVING A BLAST!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span>We would text each other at night and say, “Go to bed!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had more laughs than I have had in a long
time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">Back to the story, it
was Thursday night and I was wondering how in the world I was going to catch
this woman.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My husband took me to the
Horse Park, and we walked!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found an
awesome cemetery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kids became tired
after awhile, so they went to sit in the truck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I walked around the parking lot until I felt I had done enough for the
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to go to bed early

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Chalkduster;">FITBIT
CRAZY NUMBER 1</span><span style="font-family: Chalkduster;"> has a running club
on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays where the students run around the track for
30 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a grand idea!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would be on the track before <span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT CRAZY NUMBER 1</span> could get out there!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AND I WAS, AND SHE WAS SURPRISED!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I walked/ran over 2 laps before the running
club could even begin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh, and FITBIT
CRAZY NUMBER 1’S battery had died, so she had lost some steps charging the battery!
Boo Hoo, right?!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We joked the whole
time we were running, and the day was off to an amazing start!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I went inside to start teaching, I was
already at 7,000 + steps!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">It’s testing time, so
I needed to review the mountains and rivers with the students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We studied them in quarter one, so they
definitely needed a refresher!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My goal
was to walk ALL DAY LONG, so we went to the black top outside and we practiced
our rivers and mountains on the black top map!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not only did I get my steps in, my students had a<span style="color: #008040;"> BLAST</span>!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">The remainder of the
school day was spent walking!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We read
two chapters of <u>Because of Winn Dixie</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I let each student read, while I followed along, WALKING, OF COURSE!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">Then, we had recess
where I walked on the track with two other <span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">FITBIT CRAZIES</span> who weren’t near
as crazy as <span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT CRAZY NUMBER 1! </span>All in
all, I did an amazing job walking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When,
I left school I had over 22,000 steps!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>With only 9 hours to go, I knew I had to continue walking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I came home and walked/ran at my house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did this until it was time to go to my
son’s soccer game, where I walked the entire time!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I actually could see the game better because
I followed the ball wherever it went!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After the game, my family went to eat with our friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I started to feel sleepy, so after dinner, I
took a quick shower.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, I put on my
walking shoes!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I walked until 11:57
A.M. last night!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The challenge ended at
12:00 A.M.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At one point, I even went to
the pantry to grab the Cheese Puffs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
ate them and WALKED!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">At 11:57 I did the
sync, and of course, I was well in the lead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT CRAZY NUMBER 1 </span>usually didn’t complete her sync until morning, so it was off to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My husband looked at me when I went to bed
and asked if I was done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I said, “The
time is up, and I have done all I can do!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">So, that’s where it
ended.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I received a badge for walking
55,000 steps in ONE DAY, and my grand total for the five days was 160,797
steps, completely insane!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">This morning, <span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT CRAZY NUMBER 1</span> completed her sync, and she
won…. She ended with 168,568, even more insane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She sent me a text first thing, and said, “55,000 steps!, holy cow!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I told her thank you for the motivation, and now we are going to start running after school!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">I learned three valuable
lessons this week….<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;"><span style="color: blue;">#1</span> Don’t forget to
exercise even when life is busy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt
so good this week, minus the aches and pains!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">#2</span> Have fun with your
school friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The students feed off of
it, and love it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;"><span style="color: red;">#3</span> NEVER TELL A
COMPETITIVE TEACHER HOW MANY STEPS YOU HAVE WALKED IN A DAY BEFORE YOU LEAVE
SCHOOL, SO SHE KNOWS SHE HAS TO KILL IT THAT NIGHT! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;"><span style="color: magenta;">FITBIT CRAZY
NUMBER 1</span> earned two badges this week in the hustle! I would say this was beneficial for us
both. I had an amazing time and a lot of laughs. I failed to mention the other ladies because this
one was my competition this particular week, but I had a ton of fun with them,
too! Everyone did an amazing job!!! Remember this was only for five days! I guess I am <span style="color: #e69138;">FITBIT CRAZY #2 </span>and proud of it!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I did not post last Sunday because I did exactly what the teacher tip of the week says. I took a break! My boys and I went to Hilton Head Island for the week of our Spring Break. We met my sister and my mom there. We had an amazing time. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The teacher tip of the week is TAKE A BREAK! As much as we spend preparing materials, researching ideas, and thinking about our classrooms and students, we need a break. I had a professor in college tell our class that we needed to find a hobby that separates us from teaching. I did just that this week. I went to Hilton Head and did not take my computer for the first time in awhile. I read a Danielle Steele book, <u>Forever Friends</u>, which I highly recommend. Most importantly, I enjoyed my family, and I am thankful I did! I feel completely refreshed and ready to end this year with a bang! Here are a few pictures from our vacation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Chalkduster;">An app. I use all the time in my classroom to work on Fact Fluency is Operation Math Code Squad. I love it because you can choose the operation or mix operations! The students are on a mission to answer the facts the quickest while being accurate. Talk about motivating, the students LOVE it! It's a little pricey, but worth it!! Four players can play on one Ipad. I sit the Ipad flat on a desktop and add four chairs around the desk. </span></div>

They have games for students to play to practice hard to learn skills. I use 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade in my classroom because they all work on different skills.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">All that I have mentioned thus far has been for practice. Let's move to the creating piece. Clarity Innovations, (The Math Learning Center) has many apps that are free. The first one is a creating app. It is a geoboard. In my classroom, I had the students create shapes on the geoboard according to the different attributes I would call out. For example, I would tell the small group to create a shape with at least one obtuse angle. The students had to make the shape, take a screen shot, and air drop it to me! </span><br />

While reading a novel study, you can download a reading app. like Nook, Storia, or Amazon. The students can read the books on the devices. However, if you are like me, I enjoy using the real books!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Here are some of the apps. I use during Reading Groups. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Education Galaxy has wonderful common core practice. They have apps for Language Arts and Math. I use these apps weekly. They cost money, but they are awesome.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">I also love for the students to get reading comprehension practice using passages. However, the copies become endless without Ipads. I found this application that I love. You can track student progress on this app. They have a free version you can test out, first. I highly recommend the paid version!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">The big push is to have students create using the IPads, rather than use them just for apps. IMovie is awesome for that. Students can use IMovie to create </span>trailers and movies. My class made an awesome Susan B. Anthony Movie with Trailer two years ago. I wish I had it to post on here!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Featuring a FREEBIE of the WEEK</span></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Posted Every Sunday</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My blog is going to be short and sweet today! I have been working all day on March Warm-Ups to address some misconceptions in my classroom. I focused heavily on Parts of Speech because my class seems to struggle with those tremendously. So, my tip today is to SHARE! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We are all in this for one reason; the students! Therefore, we should all work together to help make their learning experiences better. In honor of my blog and my tip for today, I am sharing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This is my FREEBIE of the Week, which is a sample from my March Printables I just finished making. Please remember to leave feedback. If you wish to purchase the whole set, I have added the link to it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Thank you for your continued support, and Happy Teaching!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Teacher Tip of the Week </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">(Featuring a FREEBIE of the WEEK-Posted at the end of every blog)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Several times I hear teachers talk about retirement. Of course, we all dream of retiring on a deserted, tropical island! I have been asked a few times when I would retire, and I often wonder that myself. My thoughts are always the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"I will retire when I stop loving what I do and stop learning how to do it better!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Never stop learning! We are surrounded by truly amazing individuals. Those individuals that can make children smile, make them want to be the best they can be, and teach them the most complicating concepts all in one day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have the ability to learn so much from one another. I can think of many times I have simply walked in a colleague's classroom and learned at least one new idea!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Most importantly, we have to remember our goal, which is to educate our students. We are not in this to shine as individuals, but to work together as a team to help students. So, I challenge you to learn something new every day! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Do you need a way to organize your Writer's Workshop?</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is the solution! I presented an idea to "The Mailbox Magazine" years ago on how to organize a Writer's Workshop. This idea was published in their magazine! Years later, I turned this idea into a reality for me in my classroom. Only this time, I made it appealing to the students and to me!</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">(Featuring a FREEBIE of the WEEK at the END of EVERY Post)</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: left;">Boy, children really do put us in our places! I was sitting in a faculty meeting when our precious counselor told us that she would be needing a volunteer for the parent workshop that would be held in March. Immediately, I began thinking of soccer, laundry, sleep, everything but waking up at 6:00 on a Saturday to go to a workshop! Then, it dawned on me that I would be helping out at the Walkathon the night before. Goodness, there was NO WAY I could do this!!!!! There was no thought of the hours that went into those that had covered these situations before!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: magenta;">NEXT, it happened! As I was talking to my husband about all this, I was not taking into account that the boys I had raised were listening. They were intently playing on their IPads. My husband did not have a negative thing to say. He simply was listening to me. BUT, someone had a lot to say! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #38761d;">My oldest son said, "Mom, why don't you step up and be a leader?"</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> WHAT? Oh my goodness! Yes, my son had finally applied what we had been telling him for years. "Be a leader, not a follower! Do something extra to help others. Go above and beyond!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> Boy, it is super when we learn from the ones we teach. It happens in the classroom many days. How incredible that it happened at home for me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #674ea7;"> In conclusion, I will be volunteering for the parent workshop in March with a very proud smile on my face! Thank you to my child for putting me in my place!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #6b006d;">Have you ever wondered
what students are thinking while you are delivering a lesson? This
is what I began wondering as I was trying to teach government to a classroom
full of third graders. I can imagine they had no idea what I was talking
about! Most adults do not understand our government, so how can I expect
third graders to! Well, if I cannot do anything about the curriculum I
have to deliver, then I MUST think of something else. Oh, I know! Change
the way I deliver it!!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;">

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 28.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">
<span style="color: blue;">First, I decided to begin making lapbooks
for the students to assemble while I am teaching. They are more engaged
in the learning process, and they have something to refer to when
studying or looking back on a concept. If you click on the lapbooks tab
to the right, you will be taken directly to the government lapbook we did just
this week. Every student said that making the lap book helped them
understand the levels and branches of government better.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 28.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">
<span style="color: #ff6600;">Next, I decided something had to be done
about the way I deliver the vocabulary to the students. They write the
definitions as I teach about the words. NO GOOD! This is basically
a wasted 30 minute lesson! NEW IDEA- Teach the new terms, but have students
come up and act out the words, kind of like charades! They can play this,
and I can relate the vocabulary to what we are studying while the
students are more engaged. Who cares if they have a list of words with
written definitions to take home? I can type up a list of these
words with the definitions for them to study at home. Then, I would
be able to use my class time more effectively. No time is wasted copying
definitions from a book or from the board. Which essentially means,
wasted time!<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

thought about the new idea of more movement in the classroom. I know
students need to move, so it is my job to provide more lessons where they are
able to do this! I listed activities I have created to engage my students
more in their learning where they can move around the classroom while doing so.</span></b><b><span style="color: green; font-family: "Marker Felt"; font-size: 28.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span><br />

I guess the challenge is on for you and me! Let's start engaging our

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Smile and Say "Good Morning!"</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Teacher Tip of the Week #1</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am so happy to be featuring the teacher tip of the week on my blog. After 15 years of teaching elementary school, I still feel I have so much to learn. However, I also feel like I have learned a tremendous amount. First and foremost, I have learned to smile and say, "Good morning!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This sounds so easy, but we all know how difficult it is to be awake and chipper first thing in the morning. We have all felt overwhelmed and tired, so much so, that it has taken a great effort to smile, especially at 7:00 in the morning! AND please be extra careful around me before two cups of coffee!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With all that being said, I have discovered that most children respond better to teachers that respect them and care about them. This all begins at the start of school. You can change the whole demeanor of a child by simply smiling and saying hello. I try really hard to be at my door to say good morning to each and every child that passes my classroom door. By the way, that is a lot of children since they positioned my classroom directly across the lunchroom where most students in our school eat breakfast! Good morning comes out of my mouth many, many times each day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I can think of many social skills I am teaching the students that pass my doorway in the morning. We all know modeling is one of the best strategies for preparing youngsters for their futures. My hopes are that I am making a positive impact on others throughout the day. I am just blessed that most of those "others" are children! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In conclusion, I will add that children are not the only ones that need a smile and a "good morning." I can think of many days that I have felt discouraged or even sad about things in my life that had nothing to do with school. One colleague showing that they cared by smiling and asking how I was doing, made my spirits lift. That has happened many times in my teaching career. We need each other, too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have two young boys who attend my elementary school. I understand the struggles and the difficulties with rushing and trying to be the best we can be. Regardless, I will be smiling and saying, good morning each day!!!</span></div>
