A Little Bit Nerdy

May 22, 2014 By Rachel

Why hello!! 
It’s time to link up with the awesome Jennifer.
I am a self proclaimed NERD!
I get excited over silly things!
My biggest excitement right now is this!
I got it last night and it has made me so happy!
LOL! See…nerd!
I’m also super stoked about about a conference that my district puts on each summer.
It’s the week after our last day.
I can’t wait!!
More nerdiness!
So here is my positive thought:

      I love this quote! Passion about what you do, whatever it is, is so important… Even if it does make me feel like a complete nerd sometimes!

      I am the leader of the Nerd Herd….no for real…I am! I tell my kids every day that they are super weird and they tell me it's because I made them that way. I want a Roo Cup now. I'm jealous. I only wish the Kangaroo wasn't over the bridge in town. I despise going over the bridge. I only cross it for two things….Hobby Lobby and T.J. Maxx…okay and for Kohl's too. XOXOXOXOX
      I love your nerdiness and you!

    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?!
