Text of the page (random words):
on what i wanted to blog about if i wasn t energized and excited about what i was doing how could i possibly come here and share i knew that i needed to refocus and find a new way to look at things it was all about reframing the situation happily i can write that i am in a totally different mindset now i want to write a post about reframing and recharging your teaching i think we all hit that slump at one time or another and i was able to find some strategies that really helped turn things around so do i regret taking the year off from blogging i can 100 say it was the best thing i could have done it really gave me a chance to recharge so what did i do with all that time lots i found time for all those school related things i would usually struggle to fit in i went to several out of district workshops that made my literacy loving heart sing i was able to listen and learn from donalyn miller harvey smokey daniels debbie miller douglas fisher kyleene beers and bob probst tell me that isn t an amazing year of pd being able to learn from these literacy leaders has recharged my teaching and definitely made me refine my methods it has also given me so many ideas for blog posts there is so much i want to share with you from these workshops i finally got to read some of the books in the giant pile i ve been meaning to get to reading in the wild by donalyn miller was a really good one but i ve been on a big jennifer serravallo kick i love her books if you are a literacy teacher she is a must read in particular her latest book the reading strategies book is one that should be on every reading teacher s desk i m planning to post reviews of the books i ve read this past year most were fantastic like the two below but there were a couple of duds i worked on cleaning up and reorganizing my classroom this included taking the time to purge all those files i haven t opened in forever and reorganizing my closets and drawers that seemed to be filled with things i ve sort of just thrown in there i took a true tough love approach and got rid of anything i knew i haven t used and probably wouldn t one of the biggest projects i took on was reevaluating my classroom library i have a huge class library after attending the donalyn miller workshop i was inspired to make some big changes i have a couple of blog posts planned about this with all the details and rational but i can tell you i ended up purging 271 books and then completely reorganizing it all the pic below is from my instagram that i posted as we were in progress by the way instagram is without a doubt my favorite social media i must be a visual learner there was also time to have a life outside of school i found time to join a gym and workout i had time to spend with friends and family i read many gasp non teaching related books i went to movies i slept i cooked i went to concerts fairs and festivals i watched tv i had a life and it wasn t that blogging took that much time i mean it does take time if you blog you know it can be time consuming but not blogging gave me nights and weekends free to do more without the guilt of thinking i should be blogging the one area i had hoped to work on this past year was my presence on teachers pay teachers yeah that didn t happen i still have just one or two lonely simple freebies hanging out on my tpt page i had lots of ideas and projects in mind but never got around to it it is still a goal for me being able to share products and ideas that work for me and i hope will help others is something i still really want to do i just have to realize this is going to be a slow moving goal i still have a lot to learn about creating products and how tpt works i have july and august to do some learning and creating so i m hoping to have at least a couple of things ready to go for september but i m not going to be pressuring myself to do it all it will happen as it happens one thing this year off did help me realize is just how much i missed blogging even though i m glad i took the year off i m excited to get back to it also i have to give a huge thanks to those of you that continued to pop in during the year despite not seeing new content to be honest i was shocked anyone was still checking in on my little blog moving forward i have a better balance now with work life and blogging i don t have a blogging schedule planned i just have things i want to share on occasion it might be twice a week it might be once a week i m not sure what i am sure of is that i am happy to be back to blogging 33 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels blogging teacher life thursday september 18 2014 i have a blog just popping in with a quick post from my phone i know it has been forever since i ve posted big long stories that include a crashed motherboard family things and if i m being honest a bit of laziness but not 2 months of laziness however assuming anyone is still checking in i will be back to regular posting on october 1st until then check out my instagram since i m essentially working off my iphone for the time being it s been my favorite place to be just search teaching my friends and my account should pop up look for the pink apple these are just some of the pics i ve shared there there are blog posts to go with most of these pictures but technology has not been my friend lately but fingers crossed we should be bffs once again by october so thanks to all that have been checking in even though i ve been mia i do appreciate it i will see you on october 1st 18

from a principal to her students you can read the full article about this letter here photo origin 18 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels state testing weekend words friday july 18 2014 the most disjointed blog post ever and some affixes this really is probably going to be the most disjointed blog post ever there were a few different education and non education topics swirling around in my head and i m just going to lump them all into one post i haven t blogged in a bit for no good reason than it is summer and i m being a bit lazy every morning this is the plan but then i get distracted one of my biggest distractions this summer has been this little app yes that devilish little kindle app on my iphone it has been so nice to have time to read fluff i am still in the middle of two different professional books but i just lost interest for a bit i might need to delete this app for a couple of weeks so i can get something done like blogging and working on my tpt stuff figuring out this whole tpt thing was is one of my goals this summer i have some things i want to get done but the time suck that is my kindle app has been getting the best of me it was so fun seeing all the pics of bloggers who attended the tpt gathering convention in vegas last week it looked like so much fun i ve been reading lots of blog posts on it and i have yet to hear of anyone that didn t have a great time meet some amazing bloggers and learn lots of helpful tips in fact i posted this pic on my instagram account during the festivities more on instagram later my goal is that by next year my tpt store will be up and running and i will attend the next gathering one thing i am getting done is summer school i have the best group of kids this year i truly love them to pieces they are so sweet just really nice children who are willing to learn no attitudes they really make heading to work on nice sunny beach days not so bad and there are only 7 of them which has let me get so much done my summer friends will be entering 4th grade in september but have reading levels 1 2 years below that one thing i learned right away is that they are unfamiliar with the most basic of affixes i know they were taught them in 3rd grade but the recall is not there at all so when deciding what to do with them for word study this summer affixes it is i wanted to get the most bang for my buck they certainly need help with spelling patterns but as soon to be 4th graders i feel mastering some basic affixes will help them more with decoding the grade level words they will encounter for visuals with my lessons i ve been using this beach themed packet of 31 different prefixes and suffixes by rachael parlett that i found on teachers pay teachers it is awesome and free she actually has this same pack available in different themes pirates jungle hollywood and more along with other for sale resources that compliment them we ve been doing one a day i write the affix down and then i give the kids a basic word that has that affix i then let them try to figure out what it means once they do we write the definition on the chart we ve glued in our notebook we then work together to brainstorm a list of words after that they select a word and use it in a sentence that shows they know the meaning of the word finally they sketch a quick picture showing their sentence this form is another freebie i also found on teachers pay teachers created by gaily girl it s a pack of various materials including this chart organizer i will say that i did tweak it a bit but it is essentially the same i just changed the font made one line dotted and changed the center box to put in the particular affixes we are using the form is editable so it was easy to do i only have my friends for five short weeks this summer so we are spending two weeks on prefixes two on suffixes there they are below ready to go and on our last week we will be combining the two the best part of it all is that i can really see this clicking for the kids they are using the new words they learned in our conversation and have stopped me during our read aloud more than once to point out that i said a word that had a prefix we learned score after summer school today i went to my school to grab some materials from our supply room if you are not a teacher and wonder what schools look like during the summer here it is i really feel for our custodians in the summer our school is not air conditioned and it is hot as blazes in that building they are busy clearing out the classrooms stripping and freshly waxing floors cleaning the rooms making repairs and actually working to retile some classrooms this year it is hot and sweaty work they have to empty every room do all that work and then put it all back again but it all very much appreciated when we come back to shiny clean classrooms in september so frozen peas yup that s me driving home from school last week with a bag of frozen peas on my knee at dismissal last thursday i tripped on some uneven sidewalk and did a full on face plant really more of a knee injury in front of all the summer school staff students and parents it was so bad i literally couldn t get up for a minute i was going to post a picture of my knee today but it is so ugly i didn t want to subject you to it it is blue green purple black red yellow and every other color you can imagine i honestly can t believe how bad the bruise is it is still really sore but i m just glad i didn t break anything and to prove how sweet my kids are this summer i can t begin to tell you how upset they got when i fell i was so busy reassuring them that i was fine that it wasn t until after they were all gone that i realized how bad it was to keep on with this disjointed post i might be mildly obsessed with getting some jamberry nails i m seeing them all over the web when i first heard of them i thought i could just pick them up in the store but i think it is some kind of home party sales thing i do see though that i can order some on their website they aren t cheap but i think it would be a fun treat have to look in to this some more do any of you do jamberry nails how do you like them where do you get them my other mild obsession this summer has been banana frozen yogurt i tell you this for no reason other than i feel more people need to know about banana frozen yogurt you know i m an elementary school teacher because i can t even type the word banana without thinking of minions and laughing i posted this picture of some on instagram a few days ago it was a bit disappointing due to the lack of toppings notice there aren t really any i wanted some fresh fruit and there was none when is the last time you went to a fro yo shop that had no fresh fruit speaking of instagram i have just started using my blog instagram i find i am much more of an instagram person than a facebook person i use fb in my personal life for friends and family but i find it really difficult to switch back and forth between my blog fb page and my personal fb page as a result i sort of don t pay any attention to my blog fb page which isn t good some of you have been so nice to follow me on it which means you are probably on it more than i am however i find it much easier to blend my personal and blog instagram in one i think i m more of a visual person and just find instagram more appealing i need to add an instagram link to my buttons up top but you can find me here i ve only posted a few pics but i think ig is one social media i will keep up with so that s my disjointed post which seems about right for summer blogging 391 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels stuff summer school vocabulary
