July 1, 2014 By Rachel

Happy July Friends!!
And Happy Canada Day to my friends up north!!
It’s hard to believe that we’re half way through 2014!
Since it’s the beginning of July it’s time to share what I’m currently doing?
Be sure to check out Farley’s famous monthly linky!
Listening:
Friends!! If you’re surprised then you haven’t been reading my blog and you should read this post ASAP!
Loving:
I just saw a commercial that Kid President is getting his on tv show on Hub Network!  He’s awesome!
Thinking:
My nephew turns 2 on Sunday and will be here to celebrate!  Mom and I are going shopping today for him and I don’t know what I want to get him yet!
Wanting:
I am such a Harry Potter nerd!  I want to go to Diagon Alley so bad!  I’m seriously looking into it!
Needing:
I want to change the colors in my classroom.  Well,  I think so…see this is why I need to make a decision!
4th Plans:
I love spending time with my parents!  And I love spending time with them at their new house!!
It’s also Two for Tuesday!
Two of my products are 50% off today!
They are $1.50 each!
This is the lowest they will ever be!
In fact, I’m raising the price on these soon because I’ve added so much to them since I first listed them!

      Kid President is getting a TV Show!!! I love him! Just as excited as you are 🙂 Also, classroom colors….I was going to redecorate my classroom over the summer, but decided not to, but I was thinking lime green and pink! I don't know or care if it's overused, but I think it's an awesome combination!! Happy decorating 🙂

      Kid President is starting his own show! Love it! I tend to change my classroom theme a very three or four years. It can get so expensive! Last year I changed to some bright colors…aqua, lime green, pink. My kiddos loved it.

      Congrats on 100 posts! Go girl! I love Kid President and I did not know he was getting a show too cool! I have lime green and turquoise in my room with animal prints of zebra and cheetah. It's a Kindergarten "Jungle". It is a little over the top but I love it and the kids did too this last year, so I am not changing just adding a few more things. My son is a huge Harry Potter fan and if I wasn't so far away I am sure he would beg to go and see the new exhibit.

      TV show?!?! I'm so excited to hear this news. Do you know when it is coming out? Love him! I was going to go with a nautical theme for my classroom this year, but I got a big box of goodies from Creative Teaching Press for being an exclusive blogger, and there's just too many non-nautical things that I can't just not use them! So it will be a modge podge of color again this year I think!

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

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?!
