To all first year teachers:

Teaching is a marathon, not a sprint. You don’t have to be an expert your first year. Work hard, yes, but also give yourself grace.

If you feel like you’re not doing enough, that’s a good sign you’re doing just fine. So breathe and don’t beat yourself up.

Sparktop.org ”helps kids with learning difficulties, including learning disabilities and AD/HD, understand that they are smart, have unique talents, and can succeed in school and life.” 

Some really neat tools for kids of any ability. The paint, mixer, photo, voice, and write tools are excellent. Quality site from the creators of Prof. Garfield.

Studio 24/7 is another neat interactive where students can learn about learning difficulties and get advice from online characters.

Love the fact that audio is incorporated into the site!

Common Core Support Tools

This site is truly amazing.  Even if you are not from NC it’s all the same if your state is COMMON CORE… this site aligns all the CC to each grade and “unpacks” how to teach each standard with an example of word phrases… and or lesson ideas!

This is an awesome mailbox I made for my students. I painted it with blackboard paint so I can continue to change the names throughout the years. I’m pretty happy about it and it only cost me $20 for 2 of these!

Literacy Stations, part 3

This is the poetry station. I find that having the “I can” statements work well for every station. i made my  own for this one, as many of the pre-made ones do not address my students’ needs. I use this to help develop phonemic awareness with rhymes, for handwriting skills, and just for the love of poetry. The poems are quite often related to science or social studies content. I have found good ones for my grade here and here . This is the one pictured above.
