Who Am I?

August 18, 2014 By Rachel

Happy Monday Y’all!!
Do you know what today is?
It’s my first day of school!!
I currently have 25 3rd graders joining me on a fun adventure this year!!
It’s also Teacher Week with Blog Hoppin’!!
I hope you’re joining the fun!!
Today is all about me!!
I sure did take these from my first day presentation with my kiddos!
LOL! 
So this is me…but you can call me Rachel!
I have two fur-babies!
They’re spoiled!
This is my amazing family!!
If you’ve been reading for awhile, you’ve probably seen lots of my nieces and nephew, but here’s the rest of my family!  I am the middle child and only girl!
Here are a few of my favorite things!!
I didn’t put anything on here about my reality tv or social media addiction, because some things you need to keep private from your students!  But not your blogging friends!!
I live in the friendlist city in America!
But I also think it’s gorgeous!
Charleston, SC
The Angel Oak
Oldest live oak tree in America
See what I mean!
I’ve been teaching for 10 years and this is my 4th year in 3rd grade!
I work with amazing people!!
 We have so much fun!
I think that about sums it up!
See ya tomorrow!
I’m posting all about my classroom!!

      I love the pictures of your family and coworkers. I am going to do a slideshow about me this year too! I will have to leave off the part about being obsessed with reality tv as well. 😉 It is just so addicting. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see tomorrow's post! Hope you are having a great first day (or had a great first day when you actually get to sit down). 🙂

      Your pictures are awesome! Now I totally want to come visit Charleston!! Are your fur babies boys? Someone told me that tuxedo cats are usually male. (My Jax is one too!) I hope your first day was incredible!

      I love this!! I love that you used your slides from your presentation that you showed your kids too!! I agree, that telling our kids everything isn't always great, but I love that you shared with them some of your favorites! Hopefully your planting the seed for those Christmas presents, or other random gift days!! 🙂

    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?!
