Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Oh my! Farley from Oh Boy 4th Grade! Is my very favorite linky, I try to never miss. By RJ Palacio on Audible. I am testing the 30 day Audible free try out period. I love it! I think I am going to subscribe! The first book I listened to was A Girl on The Train.

Setting Procedures For A Successful Year. What should you do? Set your rules, and set your procedures. Instead, take the time to set the tone and build the community you want to continue throughout the school year. 1 All activities and lessons for the first week of school should be centered around learning the rules, learning the routines, and building community.

Sunday, August 2, 2015. Making positive connections with students outside of the typical school day is one of the most important things a teacher can do. At the beginning of the year, I take the time to send two sets of notes to my kiddos. The idea to send these first notes came from one of my teammates. This was one of my favorite class meeting lessons.

Monday, August 10, 2015. Most of my weekend was spent in front of my sewing machine as it was raining, so my Monday Made It is a sewing bonanza. My purse is now a happier place. I made a little case for my ear buds that live in my purse. I am hoping this will prevent them from getting tangled. I used fusible batting to make it padded.
