I posted a new Scoot! game to my TpT store-with state testing around the corner I am dreading "test prep"- I am desperately looking for ways to make reviewing standards and content a bit more 'fun'.....My kids love to play Scoot- and they don't even realize we are reviewing at the same time :) </div>

I am finally on Spring Break- can't wait to spend my week relaxing with my little girl! There is a ton of housework to be caught up on and of course I'd ultimately like to get up more units on TpT. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe how addicted I am to creating more units and finding clip art and borders. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways- here is my main freebie on TpT: Word Study Notebook {click picture to DL from TpT}</div>

I am so excited- A LOT of my products will be free because I use a lot of DJ Inkers but I have also started using Scrappin Doodles and will be selling a few units.<br />
<br />
I'm still so new and trying to figure everything out but would love to have followers!<br />

<br />
Today- I'm linking up with her in her <a href="http://rowdyinfirstgrade.blogspot.com/2011/09/spread-little-sunshine-linky-party.html">"Spread a Little Sunshine-Linky Party!"</a><br />
<br />
<u>My School Positives</u><br />
<br />
* I have some amazing parent volunteers! Seriously I would probably be off my rocker and drowning right now w/ out their support and help! {I have at least 3 that come in once a week to help!}<br />
<br />
* I have math stations up and running :) I'm so excited- I love it!<br />
<br />
* Daily Five is ready to begin- we have done weeks of setting expectations and procedures and now we are fully ready to rotate and for me to begin conferencing- double excited!<br />
<br />
<u>My Home Positives</u><br />
* I am going on my first real vacation since my honeymoon (5 years ago) in October- and started finalizing things today! I will be in New Orleans and Leesville, LA in October for a family reunion and my mom's college reunion!<br />
<br />
I have to say- I think the more I do this the easier it will get! :)Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08228811677408980813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672068383720190232.post-41968198474269091612011-09-13T21:48:00.000-07:002011-09-13T21:48:20.134-07:00Positive Thinking...Let me just preface this post by stating that I tend to be a very negative person....it just comes more naturally to me than being positive. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With that being said- I have honestly been working for a few years now on how to change this trait...and let me tell you it's not easy!!! Especially in teaching- I tend to find the negative before the positive. There are always negative situations that arrive during a school year, especially during a the beginning of the year and it is so easy for me to get caught up in that negative web. It's easy to get sucked into the gossip or the rut of the day to day or even just plain complaining. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year, however, I am reading "The Energy Bus"- and although my progress is slow- I am at least "aware" of my attitude and some of the things I can do to change it!! I have to embrace each new day as a blessing from above and be thankful for what I have. My attitude will show through to my students, my co-workers, administration, husband, daughter etc. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am coming to realize that this is my life and <i><u>my</u></i> path- no dress rehearsal! This is it and I have to make the best of it! I am trying my best to find a positive in every situation that I encounter! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So for today 3 things I am thankful for:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-my beautiful daughter (she truly puts a smile on my face no matter what)</div>
<div>
-my <b><i><u>ever supportive</u></i></b> husband (he is amazing, enough said)</div>
<div>
- my class ( I have a great group this year- I got to loop about half of them from last year and I have to admit it is nice having the majority of the class now how I run things)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What do you do to keep a positive attitude? How do you drive your Energy Bus? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the daily 5 block of my day. Mini- lessons and rotations are so much more fulfilling and fun than I imagined! I can't wait to get it fully up and running in about another week or two.<br />
<br />
Here's my question- as far as assessments- in my district we use DIBELS....and the STAR reading assessment so as far as my grouping I mainly base off of that- BUT how do I assess based on CAFE strategy needs? How do I determine what strategy they should be working towards on their Cafe Menu?<br />
<br />
I gave each student a copy of the CAFE menu and have a copy for each one in my daily 5 binder just don't know how to get that up and running....HELP??Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08228811677408980813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672068383720190232.post-4626903133525287472011-08-03T18:04:00.000-07:002011-08-03T18:04:34.267-07:00Daily 5/ CAFEI am taking on a new task- I am going to implement Daily 5 and CAFE into my classroom this year. I am so EXCITED but yet so scared! I have a fear of being overwhelmed and just giving up!<br />
<br />
I am going to have to tweak it just a bit to meet my schedule needs but I think I can do that- for instance I will only be able to do 3 rotations a day but I'm excited to just get it started!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
wish me luck! I could use the help and positive thoughts!<br />
<br />
I am reading The Daily 5 by "the sisters" and have the CAFE book on order along with the Book Whisper!Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08228811677408980813noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672068383720190232.post-38107188044566634232011-07-30T11:03:00.000-07:002011-07-30T11:05:01.654-07:00Finally- a peek inside my classroom!So I spent Wednesday and yesterday at school getting somewhat set up and organized! I was lucky enough to be able to stay in the same room again (just switching grade levels)- so I just kept my same fadeless paper up and changed borders before school ended.<br />
<br />
It's still pretty plain but compared to previous years- I don't have much to do! We also have back to school night this Friday so I've been consumed with trying to get stuff ready and done for that. Some of the stuff that goes on the walls- can't be added until the kids arrive anyways. Here's the tour:<br />
<br />
Looking in from the door-when I first walk in. (the two doors agains the wall lead into our pod area-a center workroom for the four classrooms in my building)<br />
<br />
the wall with the clouds is my focus wall for reading - I must have not gotten a close up of it...<br />

Guided reading area- messy right now- with the Social Studies board- we are starting with Governing the People....after that unit I will switch it to a science theme. The green board will be an A.R. board.<br />

I have to admit that I have never been able to get on board with TpT- I don't know why I just have not signed up for one reason or another. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do have a {minor} confession though- I just don't think I can bring myself to "sell" my stuff online when I hate to have to "buy" things other teachers' make. I just feel as though we as teacher's all make so little as it is and all work so hard for things we create- and so the stuff I make I usually just end of linking to my blog for free. I honestly cannot afford to buy a bunch of new things for the classroom- as much as I wish I could. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still thinking it all over though and figuring out if maybe it would be beneficial. I do put a lot of time and effort to my items that I create.....I may look into this new website. </div>

Ready for 2nd grade!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Well- after taking a MUCH NEEDED month off to not think about school- I think I am ready to jump back in! I am {almost} excited about teaching 2nd grade. As much as I L.O.V.E teaching 1st- and that is where my</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> h.e.a.r.t is I'm going to suck it up and give this new grade level a fair chance. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">So- that being said- I decided that since I have already taught a testing grade {3rd}- that I would modify what I did in 3rd grade to match the 2nd grade standards. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">One thing that we did as a team that truly worked was Daily Language Homework. {I should note that we use HM for reading and so I base the HW off of the theme we are on}The kids have a page a night- and it encompasses many skills-daily language practice, vocabulary, spelling, phonics, grammar, structural analysis etc all in one week! It's a good way for the kids to keep practicing the skills they will need for the state test (California State Standards Test-or the CST). </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">So this is what I have done for Theme 1 -Week 1 {Dragon Gets By}</span></span><br />

My phone went out on me so I had to wait for new one- then I had to get the software updated on my laptop in order to update and use new phone and our internet has been screwy and going in and out- so what does all this mean? I have been a HORRIBLE blogger......the school year is over- my classroom is ready for summer - and next year....just have to add finishing touches on walls. <br />
<br />
With being moved to 2nd grade, now getting sick w/ a summer cold, phone/internet/computer problems.I haven't been able to do much! I need to get back on here and start sharing my ideas! <br />
<br />
But first- I'm going to play with my beautiful daughter! ;)Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08228811677408980813noreply@blogger.com0
