<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">My kinders and I are so fired up and ready for some football !!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In the midst of all the excitement over our team favorites, we were put to the task of recognizing and writing our number words in math. While there are a number of kiddos who are "number word" swarthy and can take on almost any number given to them, there are still a few who can benefit from that little extra practice and exposure.</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">So I put together a set of cards with numbers and another set that includes their corresponding number words to reinforce our little number-word-lexicons. </span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This turf load of football fun includes two recording sheets and carries on up from number one to twenty-five.</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I'm very excited to incorporate some of my very own quirky created clip art which may slightly resemble some of the most favorite football teams out there. {*wink*wink*}</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I PoPPed into my local dollar store today & (Yipeeeeee!!!) I found these adorable pine cone ornaments!!! Score!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">So I PoPPed off the hangers & VIOLA! Instant counters! The base-ten rods immediately came to mind. I whipped up a rod strip to lay the cones on in order to make counting organized & simple. Then, devised the number sentence mat for recording. </span></div>

Here's the Apple Test sheet for science that we performed this week. The kids LOVED this fun experiment! I'll add pics & more information this coming weekend. But, I wanted to be sure to get you this! :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A question frequently asked by parents throughout the school year is, "So, how is my child's behavior?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Classroom management is especially important at the beginning of the school year. It sets the precedent for the rest of the year and the tempo of attitude in your classroom. I've found that my "How's My 'Bear~Havior?" system to be very engaging, good habit forming and most of all positively reinforcing for my little cutie~pies' behavior. They feel safe in our classroom environment and know exactly what is expected of them in our daily routine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I have a whole "bear" theme in my classroom which my kiddos LOVE! I also love the ease of using a clipchart!</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The children's names can be quickly moved "up" the chart and it creates a great visual to reinforce those good habits and behaviors which we love to see!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">They can then use their 'Bear' Bucks to earn reward coupons or select a prize in the class treasure chest where specific reward items or coupons are worth from one 'Bear' Buck on up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> They are always really excited to save their 'Bear' Bucks and trade them in for coupon rewards that they themselves have worked hard to earn. It's wonderful to see the look of pride in their expressions when they earn each 'Teddy Bear' token or 'Bear' Buck and receive their reward coupons or treasure!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">*For any kiddos whose 'Bear' Clip remains on the first green color, I send home a short note to their parents encouraging them to discuss the importance of making good choices at school and to remind them to keep trying. I believe in all they can achieve and remind them that they "Can Do It!"</span></div>

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It's so important to ensure that these little kiddos are given every opportunity to receive positive reinforcement when they perform their responsibilities well, follow instructions, being good listeners, stay on task and most importantly when they follow the class rules. </span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I disagree with having behavior charts that can potentially demoralize a child's self esteem and shut down their initiative to perform their very best. So rather than "dinging" them for poor behavior choices, I'm committed to reinforcing GOOD behavior choices in my behavior management system.</span></div>

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">As we approach the new school year, I like to reflect and apply as many methods of self improvement towards my work. One of the best resources for continuing my learning as an educator, is through reading and anytime is a great time but for me the SUuMmER TiMe is the BEST time to do it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">There are several great books available such as </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">"Move Your Bus" by Ron Clark and "Crash Course: The Life Lessons My Students Taught Me" by Kim Bearden are a couple of my top favorites as these two educators are well known for their tremendous hearts in teaching children and influence as amazing teachers. </span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">In addition to those RCA favorites, the following books I also highly recommend: "1-2-3 Magic For Teachers" by Thomas W. Phelan & Sarah Jane Schonour: This book not only helps to guide teachers in their behavior management plan for their classrooms, but it also comes in a "parent" version for families too. There are many great examples and questions answered within the pages which makes it a most helpful tool.</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">Another amazing author and educator who's bark is right up my alley, is David Burgess with his book "Teach Like A Pirate". When I read his words on student engagement and creativity, I felt as though he was looking into my past through a crystal ball and describing me and my strikingly similar passion for lesson crafting and teaching.</span></div>

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">These are just a few wonderfully great "reads" which I thoroughly enjoyed "uploading to my hard drive" (oh yes, reading!) during my summer break. They have definitely enhanced the way I teach and compliment what I love to do. I'm always looking for juicy new tid-bits to change up my game plan and make learning even more engaging for my kiddos.</span></div>

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">Just to update you on (what is HOPEFULLY) my new "Bug" Button.</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">I began by designing my own clipart. Each graphic is a singular piece to the big puzzle. After the design sketch, I imported my artwork and applied it to the circular design I had created in Powerpoint.</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">Once this was done, I chose to use the Love&Laughter font along with the GiveMeSomeSugar font I found on dafont.com. I added some text effects such as shadows and glows then combined them with my clipart and VIOLA!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;">We live in an age where technology is all around us. Yes, it can be intimidating. Yes, it can be overwhelming. I've been there. But, I would LOVE to encourage you not to give up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;">Here are 10 reasons why teachers should connect through venues such as Instagram, Twitter, Periscope or Facebook:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;"><u>1. A <b>Plethora of <span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Resources!</span></b></u> Through app feeds & networks there is so much information filtering through with unlimited imaginative ideas & most likely the latest, cutting edge technological tidbits! This is a HUGE timesaver. Hashtags (such as <a data-query-source="hashtag_click" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/search/?q=%23edchat&src=hash" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><s style="box-sizing: border-box;">#</s><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">edchat</span></a>, <a data-query-source="hashtag_click" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/search/?q=%23elemchat&src=hash" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><s style="box-sizing: border-box;">#</s><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">elemchat</span></a>, <s style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;"><a data-query-source="hashtag_click" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/search/?q=%23gtchat&src=hash" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;">#</a><b>tptchat, #2getherwearebetter</b></s>) let you focus on what you need to find and when! Through the Twitter stream, Periscope, Facebook & Instagram</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;"> I’ve found apps and other tech tools that were tested and recommended by other teachers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;"><u>2. Opportunities!</u> From Group-ons to giveaways to practically free offers and invitations to visit places like Space Camps and opportunities to meet other teachers at conferences like #tptVegas are because of social media's reach through venues like Twitter!</span><br />

<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;"><u> 3. You Make Your Schedule</u>: You can connect when you fit it in your schedule. You check in when you have time. It could be in between classes or even while you're in line at the grocery store. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;"><u> 4. Global Learning!</u> No matter what part of the world you live in, when networking your common goal is helping each other find what each other needs. Connections are powerful resources!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;"><u> 10. Model it & Practice it</u>: Our students need to understand how to be connected in a global society. We need to be an example of the appropriate way to go about it. We need to model it in our classrooms every single day.

Our ability to connect is directly related to our ability to influence others.</span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: large;">Get connected. The only regret you’ll have is that you didn’t get started sooner!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">I've had an adorable teddy bear theme in the morning message/circle time activities for my class and wanted to carry on these cuddly cubs into my sight word routine. So I made these cute teddy bear cards. They include Fry's First 100 Sight Words which can be neatly housed inside of a set of fun little photo albums I found at Michael's Craft Store.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">Along with the sight word mini albums, I created the accompanying Sticker Books. My students COULD NOT get enough of them this past school year! I would say it's quite the sticker addiction. I admit it is all my doing, I know! After all, I do have a "slight" sticker addiction myself!!! </span></div>

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Love Ya Like A Sister; font-size: x-large;">In addition to the Mini Album and Sticker Book, I also created Sentence Builders. These sentence builders can be a challenge at first, but my kiddos were similarly addicted to these as well and were begging for more. I could not believe it! Once they accomplished the first two, they just couldn't wait to complete more of them. The Sentence Builders can be used in a language arts center or separately depending upon your needs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Emilys Candy'; font-size: x-large;">If you're ever in San Diego, California looking for a teacher bargain, there's a humble little country~style outpost called Charity Wings. I'm always looking for good teacher deals & happened upon this precious little craft store.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Emilys Candy'; font-size: x-large;">Like a "Raft" supply niche, Charity Wings collect donations from companies & sells them for practically pennies. They sell antique furniture along with craft & painting classes filled with fun projects for both kids & adults to create. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If you hear this question asked during your child's summer break, below are five fun ways to keep that boredom in the sun at bay.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As most school’s are out for some fun in the sun summer vacation, keeping our little one’s active and engaged in between big summer plans becomes more important every day. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span class="s1"></span><br></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">With children of my own, I am constantly thinking up new ways to engage my two little girls. Here are a few ideas to spark them into action during those “off” days in between travel trips and summer camps...</span></span></div>

<div class="p1" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There are so many activities to choose from depending on your children’s interests. If they’re interested in art. Grab a ten-pack of mini-canvases from the craft store, some paint brushes & a water color palette & you're set. Children have a wonderful imagination for creating some fun abstract art they will be proud to display.</span></span></div>

They have interwoven so much love of learning into my heart & mind as much as I have in them. I can't quite put into words just how super proud I am to have been their teacher. I will undoubtedly miss them tremendously as they have carved a special place in my heart for the rest of time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My little sweet hearts have displayed the biggest hearts of gold. They are consistently filling our Kindness Jar with more and more hearts every day. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One example of their kind thoughtfulness is for each other when a friend is in need of help or has accidentally spilled their box of crayons, they did not hesitate to lend a pair of helping hands.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another act of kindness has been for complete strangers in collecting and bringing in their spare pocket change and donating these funds (no matter how big or small) to help raise monetary assistance for them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Whenever a random act of kindness occurs, we drop a heart shaped token into our jar. It has continued to grow even though RAK Week has already passed. This has brought a sense of pride and overwhelming appreciation for my kinders who have proven they have the biggest little hearts of all!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We washi~taped the feathers of fabric canaries for yellow. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To be able to hang the very same rainbow (including a very special sponge~painted bear) in my now, kinder classroom and have the privilege of teaching the very same cutie pies once again is quite unique! I will remember them always :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well...just as quickly as The Cat In His Hat came and went, so did Dr. Seuss' birthday celebration!</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My kiddos were thrilled to jump start our week with this mischievous feline. So much so, that they even dawned their own red-and-white stripes and wispy whiskers. It wasn't long before we had our very own Cats A through O calling upon Z to spread some 'VOOM!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We made our own rhyme lines and read more of the great doctor's famous literature for inspiration. Then, each of my little "Who's" picked their favorites.</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They became such big fans of Cat Z, that VIOLA! Va~VOOM! Their directed drawings (inspired by the wonderfully endearing First Grade Blue Skies) were overnight masterpieces. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There really aren't enough hours in the day. So, I squeezed in a belated Valentine's Snack Measurement & Writing Activity with my students this week. My littles have been especially enthusiastic as we have embarked on such an active quest together this school year. It has definitely been a productive journey to share with them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a result, the pathway yet ahead of us is bursting with brightness, exponential growth and a plethora of emerging possibilities! </span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've developed some fun pieces which complimented my kinder curriculum in an almost epic way. My students' parents told me how impressed they were with their children's growth, development and more importantly, how much their children loved coming to school every day!</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am polishing off my humble little offerings and will soon have them up and loaded for FREE! Inspiration for these kinder creations has culminated into some very engaging classroom concoctions. Ideas for these additions evolved from drawings and doodles I had created on late nights after my children were tucked into bed and then applied to existing ideas with my own spin on them. Such as the Valen"time" Whales Time Pieces, Turning 100 Classbook, 100 Days Smarter Hat & Cookie Labels, Leap Into Love Craftivity & Jar of Kindness Tag to name a few.</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They were favorites for my kiddos and certain to be for yours too, so I can't wait to share them!</span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Each year is different depending upon my students' needs, strengths and weaknesses. I especially love to include specific parent's requests and suggestions into the curriculum as they are essential partners involved in their child's learning. So I do tweak a lot along the way. Expect more tweaking as my own preferences grow and develop in turn. I'm always learning right alongside of my mini-masters. It is necessary to keep everything fresh, up-to-date and engaging for these very savvy youngsters. And, they are indeed super savvy! </span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I hope that you do stay tuned and tag along for the fun that hovers ahead :)</span></div>
