WBT?? and...Another thank you! :)

I received great response about my Morning Announcements Companion Pack from those who were able to get it for free.  I'm so happy that it will be put to good use.  :)

I am also SO excited to learn more about Whole Brain Teaching.  The more I research about it, the more I like it.  It is a LOT to implement, but I think I'm going to introduce what I can as I feel comfortable doing it.  We (as in the Second Grade team) have heard from a lot of sources that our upcoming Second Graders are a different set of challenges from the Second Graders we just had, so I'm so happy to have found this teaching technique that keeps students engaged and active in their learning.  Now...let's just hope I can pull it off!!  I have been going to the live chat/video sessions on wholebrainteaching.com the past two Tuesday's and have taken notes.  I'm ready to get this all organized in my head and planned out for the beginning of school.

Speaking of which...today I finished our Second Grade Curriculum Map SOOO that means I'm even MORE ready to start putting things together for next school year--including my ideas for pacing and instruction where you are using your Basal as a RESOURCE and supplementing with lots of fun activities and great read alouds.  I hope to post more about that later this week. :)

For the Love of Teaching

Mrs. Barnes has such creative ideas!!

Primary Pizzazz
I'm so glad I can give Patti an award, especially after she gave me an award!  I hope I am as interested in teaching as she is after I have been teaching for 35 years...I see so many teachers near retirement who are "done with teaching," so it is SO nice to see someone still striving to be the best they can be.
