Hi Family, Friends & Followers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As some of you already know, my daughter has been struggling with seizures. Due to this, our family has decided to fund raise for "Ashley's Hope - Seizure Service Dog."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="213" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/12758595_1467926017.7394.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find more information at the link below. I'm asking that you'll share this link on your Facebook and Twitter accounts or other social media. On this site, there are buttons to do this under the picture of my daughter on the "go fund me" site (link below).</div>

<strong>Students develop mathematical fluency in a fun and engaging environment.</strong><br />Planet Turtle individualizes content for each student as they play, using advanced algorithms to promote students from one topic to the next as their learning progresses. Learning improves as the system continually reacts to their performance and provides additional exposure and review on necessary topics. Since the questions are interchangeable in activities, Planet Turtle serves up appropriate content while still letting students pick their favorite games!</div>

<strong>Teachers can set up Planet Turtle to match their classroom program.</strong><br />Working behind the scenes in this virtual world, teachers can direct the math topics based on the needs of their class. They have access to detailed reports, both on individuals and the whole class, and they can search for and assign specific math topics. Planet Turtle then integrates the math content according to their directives. This unique feature of Planet Turtle enables the teacher to direct student learning, leaving game choice up to the student!</div>

<br />
It's been a hit and miss this past 6 months with posting and products. We've had lots of health issues in our family and it's taken me away from posting.<br />
<br />
If you're still following, I have updated a slide show of sight words my students use in the classroom. You can download them <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxUN8jkeh450bUJXZTJzNndxYm8/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">here</a>! These sight words follow the Treasures Kindergarten series in sequential order. I intentionally placed the words on the black line dividing the green grass and blue sky to help kids get the understanding of those letters than go up "high" and go down "low." If you don't know about it already, Dr. Jean has some great alphabet songs to teach this concept.<br />
<br />

Have a great day!<br />

Well, we have not! It’s coming up at the end of this week. Our
kiddos were very excited to complete a project as homework and I’ve included the

As part of the project, I asked parents to help their child
create a display of 100 items. In addition, the parent and child had to work
together practicing collections of 10 and thus counting by 10’s to 100.</div>

Take a look at these wonderful projects and if you’d like,
download the information sheet for your students as well.</div>

Skunk is excited to help decorate Easter eggs, and when Skunk gets excited, he gets stinky. The Easter bunny is forgiving at first, telling Skunk, “Please try to control yourself,” but resorts to pushing him out of the room before they eventually reconcile (with help from a clothespin). Skunk’s enthusiasm is contagious, and readers will be giggling at the stench-themed humor and the Easter bunny’s outsize reactions.</span></span></span><br /><br />

It’s called Pinky Dinky Doo. The site encourages children’s story writing. You can read all about it and see it in action just by clicking on the picture below. </p> <p><a href="http://www.pinkydinkydoo.com/index.html"><img title="Pinky Dinky Doo" style="float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto" alt="Pinky Dinky Doo" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-v_u8iUa7MsE/VKETG-p1R0I/AAAAAAAAMJw/mjfZ99AfsVM/Pinky%252520Dinky%252520Doo%25255B10%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="470" height="323"></a></p> <p>I love it! It’s free and easy to navigate for your little kiddos. As you can see above, there are games, videos, printables, and story podcasts. Students can make up their own stories, the site teaches how stories are made, reads them back to the kids, and even allows them to publish and share their own story with others.</p> <p align="center">To learn more, click on “Grown Ups” when you arrive at the site.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4893015523851813418.post-46825930482073282632015-01-22T05:00:00.000-08:002015-01-22T05:00:00.838-08:00Twinkl<p align="center"><font color="#0000ff" size="5"><strong><u>Do you like FREE Resources for your classroom?</u></strong></font></p> <p align="center">Silly question huh?

Click on the pictures to visit both sites. Twinkle doesn’t have as much but you’ll find helpful & free resources here. </p> <p>Sparklebox, on the other hand, has lots of resources but the new website can be difficult to navigate.

Here are some I *LOVE* BUT I don’t use and I’ll tell you why below, as well as a new solution.</u></strong></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">As we return from Winter Break it’s inevitable we will have to go over the rules of our classrooms to remind our students of routines and behavior. One of problems I run into is usually the use of the bathroom. So, read to the end for a twist on some already clever ideas and how to incorporate them into your class.</font></font></p> <p align="center"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiovdyQ7UVJ-wporMVsZQY-R_so9xBQvJCiazmg_6xqxu56z2ypjew-GmmYv4cbEndIZzlw2dHrFDnHsgCjMXytSV6Ob7bAex_8Dkp9BqcWtBCvAra6b7SJsZ1yssJM3LhiEOeKzQkXLbI/s320/bathroom+passes.jpg"></p> <p align="center">1. I just LOVE this idea! Students take the hand sanitizer to remind them to clean their hands and everyone knows the bathroom is in use. BUT, in the meantime, where do the kiddos put it? Most kids would place this on the bathroom floor where there’s lots of germs – Yuck!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-5-rqvemteyI/VKDQqg6bpkI/AAAAAAAAMI0/fYHQtb-9wPQ/s1600-h/image%25255B9%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="display: inline" alt="image" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-T04_D4wmCcs/VKDQsLGVgPI/AAAAAAAAMI8/oR5N8146IIQ/image_thumb%25255B5%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="309" height="291"></a></p> <p align="center">2. Wrist passes! Awesome and aren’t these cute! I love themed passes, I have some too. BUT, where do these end up when the children use the potty? They get in the way if worn on the wrist or get placed on the floor and sometimes even fall in the toilet because the wristband is too big for their little hands– Yuck again!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-zHn0dSEeyyw/VKDQuFnHG3I/AAAAAAAAMJE/VY-4rgrH60A/s1600-h/image%25255B8%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="display: inline" alt="image" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-sWjDEsb_-Xw/VKDQvsiSaHI/AAAAAAAAMJM/xZWBzzgAwkQ/image_thumb%25255B4%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="308" height="289"></a></p> <p align="center">3. This seems like a clever idea! Love it. But, does your student bathroom have door handles or hooks to hang it on? Not ours. Again, probably on the floor is where this will end up with lots of germs on it.</p> <p align="center"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6uXuTu6loUYfuFt9DE53l3dIuJ-JJiFSvLiN5gtuXsVb5KFdQ624okvF1RdFpTDz3wiyV-7pjL3zrDfvcwhRb34NxuyVfejZc7k9Kynln-FTK7DuJw9nmChTGarmWy1Vl3LTcBolPswNw/s1600/bathroom+passes.jpg" width="313" height="236"></p> <p align="center">4. Another wonderful idea! Love this and have done this too! BUT, for kindergarteners who are small well they need a short string to avoid accidents. And, for those students who don’t like wearing it around their neck what do you do? (For example, students with special needs)</p> <p align="center">All these ideas are great and with wonderful intentions! I’ve tried them all myself with all those “yucky” things happening to them. And, students have even come back without them and they are then lost forever.</p> <p align="center"><strong><u><font color="#0000ff" size="5">So, how do I keep track of my students and their hygiene?</font></u></strong></p> <p align="center"><font color="#000000">You’re probably thinking this isn’t much different than the pictures above right now. So, read on to see how this works.</font></p> <p align="center"><strong><u><font color="#0000ff"></font></u></strong><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/6Ie0_GWHYD8I66j9qDAUVUTBx1duElKiXghhqz52h60=w415-h553-no"></p> <p>First, I use passes too! And, I like variety so I change them each year. They can be cute and clever ideas just like the ones above, but I added one more thing that makes this idea just a bit different.</p> <p>I <u>remove</u> the necklace / wristbands first. Then, <u>magnetize</u> the back of the passes and place them on my magnetic whiteboard. You can make cute passes with your favorite clip art or cameo and laminate these too. Next to the passes, I <u>add</u> a large hand sanitizer bottle and it stays put there. Finally the <u>placement</u> of these items are at the front of the class near my whole group direct instruction area along with my guided reading table. This is important to me for awareness.</p> <p>When a student needs to use the bathroom, he/she simply takes the pass off the whiteboard and places it in the tray below. Now, I know someone is going to the restroom and so do the children if they go to get the pass. (one at a time) When the student returns to put the pass back up, he/she uses the sanitizer before going back to work and puts the pass back up on the whiteboard signaling that the bathroom is available.</p> <p>Viola! Now, I know who is in the bathroom and out of my classroom and I can quickly ask the returning student if he/she washed their hands and prompt them to use the sanitizer just with a quick glance from my whole group area or my guided reading table. Now, I’ve avoided having students lose my expensive passes, placing them on germy surfaces, and I can make sure their hands are all washed and sanitized just by being alert by the missing pass and sanitizer near me. Another additional plus to this method of only one student out at a time – any messes are much easier to investigate just by being able to be more aware with this method and it also alleviates everyone piling up in the bathroom for some social time!</p> <p align="center"><font color="#0000ff" size="5">Do you have any clever twists on this idea?
