Currently…It’s November!

November 3, 2013 By Rachel

I can’t believe that it’s November!
But boy am I excited!
We are moving into my favorite time of the year and I know some disagree with me, but I start decorating for Christmas this month!  Now if I was hosting Thanksgiving dinner at my house, I wouldn’t, but I go to my parents for that…so the Christmas decor is coming out!
Anyways…on to what I’m doing currently!

Listening to Forrest Gump – One of my favorite movies!! 
Loving that it’s the Holiday Season – Thanksgiving means getting to spend time with family!  And everybody is coming this year! Then Black Friday shopping with my mom! My sisters are giving it a go this year too! Then it’s officially Christmas!
Thinking that I’m sure going to enjoy the extra hour of sleep tonight!
Wanting to finish the product I’m working on for TpT
Needing the cool weather to stay!  I have cute fall clothes that are dying to be worn!
Yummy Pin!
Pumpkin Fluff Dip
Pumpkin fluff dip  1 16 oz. whip cream, 1 sm vanilla pudding mix, 1 15 oz pumpkin, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix together & serve with cinn. graham crackers

    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

    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?!
