New Blog Design

September 4, 2013 By Rachel

Don’t you just love it?!  Every time I look at it…I fall in love a little more!
A huge shout out to Christi over at Design by Christi for her amazing work!!  She was so easy to work with and I highly recommend her if you’re in the market.

Not only is she an amazing blog designer…she’s also a fabulous teacher blogger over at Ms. Fultz’s Corner!

What I’m also loving about the new look is now I’m official!  I have social media buttons on the sidebar!!

If you’re visiting from my new Facebook Fan Page…HOLLA!

You can check out my Instagram page or Pinterest Boards if you want to follow me there!

I also have a Teachers Pay Teacher store.  However, I don’t have any products…YET!  I started making my first product today and will have that upload soon!

Of course, you can follow me through Bloglovin’ or send me an email!

Feel free to follow these links or click the fancy buttons on the right!

Hope y’all enjoy the new look!

    How long is your students’ attention spans? I o How long is your students’ attention spans?
I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

    6 ways to get your students participating in your 6 ways to get your students participating in your lessons!
1️⃣ Think Time - giving your students time to think about the answer keeps your over achievers from answering all the questions 
2️⃣ Movement - Stand/Sit if this is your answer
3️⃣ Turn & Talk - Everyone shares their answer with a partner
4️⃣ Hand Signals - Perfect for multiple choice questions
5️⃣ Think-Pair-Share - Combines the think time with turn & talk 
6️⃣ Repetition - repeat important information to help it stick

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
