I just found your blog through Lil' Country Kindergarten. I can't wait to look around a bit.
I'd love it if you'd come over to my blogs as well. I currently have three blogs. I write a home blog (my most widely read blog), a literacy blog, and a kindergarten blog. My literacy and kindergarten blogs are fairly new, so I'd love to get the word out about them. My main website is www.homeiswheremystorybegins.com. From there, you can get to all of my blogs. I'd love any advice you have for breaking into the teaching blog world. I feel like I have a pretty good start with my home blog, but no one seems to be reading my other two. Any suggestions for me would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks for taking the time to help out a new teacher-blogger!
I can not believe it has been two years since I opened my little TPT Store!!! I am so thankful for all of the support I have found. I started my store thinking that if I could make back the money for what I spent on clip art, then I could buy more clip art to make more stuff for my classroom. When I make stuff for my classroom, I share it. Then I get to buy more clip art! Now, it has turned into a hobby that I truly enjoy. The first big project I made was my behavior calendars. I update them every year and they are still free. They are a great tool for communicating with parents. The first item I made for purchase was my kissing hand unit. It was so difficult because I was just learning how to create products. In the end I love they way it turned out. So, in honor of my two year TPT anniversary I am giving away 3 copies of my Kissing Hand Unit (If you already own it...
I've read a lot of great posts from bloggers doing a book study on Worksheets Don't Grow Dendrites. This is a great book. Marcia Tate actually came to our district for staff development day a few years back. I truly believe this was one of the best staff development days ever! She was very inspiring! I personally do not believe in frequent use of worksheets in the classroom. They do have their place, but they need to be chosen very carefully. There are a lot of great teachers who effectively use worksheets in their classroom. I just personally believe that there are more effective, engaging ways to teach and practice skills. I do not have a perfect solution, but I do think I have a pretty good system. Today I want to talk about how I teach phonics, with few to no worksheets. At this point in the year, I spend between 15 and 25 minutes teaching phonics each day. I use a lot of Heidi Songs. We do a lot of pract...
I know that I've said things like this before, but.... I really am going to try to blog more. I don't know if it's old age or what but I've really been struggling with time management lately. Then, when I come home start working on things for my classroom and get sidetracked! The problem is that the work never ends!!!!!! Anyway, tonight I have sort of been forced. Today I was preparing my math tubs for November and found a mistake in one of my products! Ugh!!! I hate when that happens! So, I want everyone to know that the mistake has been fixed. If you have previously purchased my Thanksgiving Math Tubs, please go to TPT and re-download the product. If you haven't, then you should definitely check it out!! Also...everything is on sale in my TPT store! I hope you can find something! Pin It
