Did I have you with Super-Size Me? Or The 3AM Teacher? Either one of those would have brought me in to read. Who doesn’t love Michelle? She’s so great, generous, talented…I could go on and on, but I won’t for now. I’m here to tell you about a Fan*tab*u*lous giveaway that she is having: Have…
Several of my bloggy friends have been posting that they have been sick lately. Could I have possibly caught something from them? That would be weird. I went to the most fabulous wedding last night for some dear friends’ daughter. It was beautiful, special, amazing. Y’all they the wedding at a local landmark on the…
I can’t tell you how excited I was when I arrived home to find this in my mailbox: I know you know what I’m talking about…those of you that signed up for this Pinterest Exchange, wasn’t it fun? Thanks to Caitlin and Sarah at: Here’s the cute, cute, cute items inside: Here’s a closer look…

I wanted passages that were the equivalent in length to what my students…

This year, however, I’ve been teaching differently. I haven’t been using the basal as much and have been teaching using different methods. I use a little bit of Daily…
One final post on poetry and figurative language and then this bus is moving on……. I’m about “figurative languaged” out, folks. Ever feel like you’ve covered something to death? This is where I am right now with poetry and figurative language. However, I really think the idea of using the lapbook helped my students feel…
How do we all keep track of the little behaviors ALL DAY LONG? It’s next to impossible. Over the many, many years that I have been teaching, I’ve tried several methods of keeping track of classroom behaviors. It’s a necessary part of the job, unfortunately. I use a system of 20s for the day. So,…
