I am now up and running with new cable and internet ((Insert "Praise hands" here!!), so I am coming to you live, instead of early with our final Tell All Tuesday of the summer... It is hard to believe that my first meeting for the 2015-2016 school year is this Thursday! And, I get my sweet kiddos on MONDAY! Can you believe it?!?
I have to take a moment to say thank you to Diana and Jayme for hosting this fabulous series this summer?! They are the kindest and most encouraging, and I have had a great time getting to know you all this summer because of this series!
Today's Theme is:
"A Wish, a goal, and a dream for the school year"
I love this theme, because we should always be looking forward and thinking of ways to improve, as well as allowing ourselves to dream for the year ahead!
Who else feels ENERGIZED by the positive, engaging ideas floating around on social media? I know I do! I plan to use what I am seeing to harness the energy and release it in my classroom.
My wish is that all students are reading. I LOVED the rainbow word program that I used last year, thanks to a colleague who showed it to me. I REALLY want to capitalize on the concept and make sure ALL students are reading by the end of the year... Literacy is key!
For my dream, I have seen SO many posts using a SMART board in the classroom, but I know they are expensive, so this will remain a dream for the near future. Does anyone know if this is a Donors Choose option??
Ok, I can't wait to see what everyone else has to say. If you'd like to link up, you can do so below! Happy Tuesday!!
I have to admit, I love my SmartBoard. But it is outdated! And because my teacher laptop is outdated too I can't update to the newest version. :( But I work with what I've got. Look around on Donors Choose- there's got to be something there that's at least similar! Good luck!
