This is what happens when Spring Break is cold! I have cleaned the house, I have bathed the dogs, I have prepped for the week we return from break, and I cannot sit still. So... I have decided to start a blog of my own. I am new to this world and I have limited knowledge about how these things work, so please be patient and kind!
When we return from break we have two weeks until state testing starts. No matter how many years I have been doing this these two weeks create PANIC in my heart. I know they are ready. We have worked hard, but this is the time I start having dreams about realizing on the day of the test that I skipped over something entirely - like multiplication. Ridiculous I know, but it is my crazy worrisome subconscious mind.
Any way, I will come to accept the idea that things will be OK. In the meantime, I want to do something entertaining with the kiddos to relieve their anxiety. I have decided to start collecting shoe boxes now because I really like the idea of Rachel Lynette's Book in a Box project. It will keep them thinking, it is easy to differentiate, and it is FUN - something we need more of!
I will post pictures and let you know how it goes in the next few weeks!
Meanwhile, any tips from the experienced bloggers would be greatly appreciated!

Yay!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the wonderful world of blogging. It is truly a learning experience, posting blogs, pictures, and the like. You can also add RSS feeds to your blog page on topics related to your profession. I have used blogspot and wordpress but not for a while. Once you get the hang of it, you might also encourage your students to do a blog. it would help them with their reading and writing, Good luck and have fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Harry! Yes, once I learn I would like to incorporate it in the classroom. They can probably teach me!
