Saturday Snapshots

July 12, 2014 By Rachel

Hello my fellow drinkers!
I’m testing out the nickname…get it…a tall DRINK of water
No?!
I’ll think of something!
What a busy but fun start to July it’s been!!
I spent the 4th at my parents and it was so relaxing!
There was a beautiful sunset and lots of fireworks after!
Then my favorite nephew came to visit!
He turned 2 on Sunday and we had a Mickey Mouse party!
How cute is he?!
This boy loves trucks!
It’s always fun when playing with Papa!
(Or as Tyler calls him, Papu!)
 And a party isn’t complete without popsicles on the back porch!
 I normally take all my pictures on my iPhone, but these I took on my mom’s canon!!  I love how they turned out!
We also went to the aquarium and the water park but I only have pictures from the aquarium, cause well you know…water and cameras don’t mix!
These 3 have my heart!
 My mom didn’t believe that these were real lemurs!
 Being silly during the tank show!
 Out of all the things to see and do…these two enjoyed a puddle the most!
Do you see the sea turtle?!
And finally a selfie with Zoe!
She asked if I was going to put it on Facebook! I asked her if she knew what Facebook was.  She said its a book with lots of faces!  Haha!

      Great pictures! I'm an iPhone picture taker too. I'm thinking of treating myself to a better camera. Your nephew is adorable, and how cute is Zoe! Her comment about FB was so cute too.

      Um…hello…you took some amazing shots with your mom's camera. Just another reason why I want a camera. Love all the pictures of you with your nephew and of course your selfie. Your sea turtle picture reminds me of my sea turtle picture from my overnight at Sea World! I'm not sure I would want those real lemurs over my head. Nope, nope, nope! Drinking water!!!!!

    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?!
