I'm back!  At least for this week!  I've definitely neglected my blog, store, etc due to my wedding.  I still have 4 days to go, but I'm so prepared, I can take some time for blogging.

Anyway, remember when I blogged about using on screen sticky notes?  In that post, you can see my desktop organizer.  Well, I've updated my desktop organizer to make it brighter and more helpful with all the different social media accounts I use now.

Here is what it looks like now:


I love how bright it is and the different fonts really make it pop.  Definitely motivating for me to keep working on my store and using social media to connect with my followers.

I had a request on Facebook to make it available in my store.  So it is!  And you can get it for free by clicking on the graphic below.


Included in the download is directions on how to use the desktop organizer.  It tells you how to use the text version or the no text version.

What are you waiting for?  Don't you want this bright organizer on your desktop?  If you don't like my text labels, you can add your own on the no text version!

If you're using my desktop, I'd love to see a picture of it!

What do you use to organize files on your computer?

Double Down Dice Game for Near Doubles Addition Strategy - Freebie

Image
Make practicing math facts fun with this double down dice game for the near doubles addition strategy.  Click on the image below to receive your copy of the game for free! This math game helps students practice their near doubles facts. An example of a near doubles fact is 5+6.  They need to use 5+5=10 so 5+5+1=11.  That needs to translate to 5+6=11.   When we played, I had 16 students in class.  This worked out perfectly for rotating partners. I had 4 tables of 4 students.  I paired them up with a partner and let them play for 5 minutes.   After 5 minutes, the students added their sums.  The partner with the highest total was the winner.  He/she became partners with the winner of the other pair at the table.   The non-winners (I didn't call them losers) paired up and played another round.  I continued this until math was over.   We had a short math period this day, so the students really only played for about 25 minutes or so.  They were engaged the whole time and were so sad when

Tips for Mentoring a Student Teacher - Communicating

Image
I hope you found my third set of tips useful! You can click on the picture above to see all the posts in this series. Communication is very important when working with your student teacher. As soon as your student teacher takes on responsibilities, it is important to communicate with him/her.  You need to make sure your expectations are clear. Here are a few simple guidelines to remember: 1.  If a problem comes up, discuss it IMMEDIATELY!  Don't wait.  It won't resolve itself on its own.  Even if you think it will just go away.  It won't.  So talk about something when it is a little problem so you don't have to deal with it as a big problem. 2.  Make sure to give verbal and written feedback after lessons. 3.  Ask your student teacher how he/she thinks things went.  Get their opinion before giving yours.  This encourages reflection. To go along with these blog posts, I have created a guide . This guide will be for sale in my Tp

Tips for Mentoring a Student Teacher - Releasing Responsibilities to Student Teacher

Image
I hope you found my second set of tips useful! You can click on the picture above to see all the posts in this series. Once your student teacher is introduced to the families, you need to set up a schedule for releasing responsibilities to your student teacher. If your student's school gives you a suggested schedule, you should follow that.  If not, you can use these guidelines to help you. You need to think about how long your student teacher should spend observing.  Make sure they have a few days to observe and take notes on routines.  This also gives them time to learn the names of your students. Once your student teacher has a chance to observe your teaching, then you can think about giving him/her more responsibilities. Start slowly.  Give your student teacher easy routines first - walking students to other places in the building, read alouds, transition times, etc. Then start planning and co-teaching with your student teacher.  Start slow.
