Currently - It's June!
You probably thought I have fallen off the face of the earth. I haven't...and I have no good excuse besides that I have done basically nothing since school got out! Well...let me amend that I have done some stuff...I made the annual trek to the Scholastic Warehouse Sale...I watched my 20 month-old strep-py nephew. We did bubbles, cornstarch chalk painting, watched a lot of Elmo, played trains, and I got thrown up on (...eeww!) I am totally the best aunt ever!
But it is now time for...
Currently!

I have to thank any of you that have bought my products on TeachersPayTeachers for my iPad because all that you purchased from me last quarter allowed me to be able to afford my pretty new iPad4. Now I am going to use a Christmas gift certificate to Etsy to purchase the perfect iPad cover to protect it.
This past school year, my principal wants us to have common plans in language arts and math. Not entirely common like all classes on the same page, on the same day, at the same time, but more shared learning experiences across the grade level. I am on the planning team, and we will be meeting next week to put together the first semester of school. I have a couple ideas in mind, but it is a bit stressful to try to find lessons that six very different teachers will all enjoy doing.
I am in the process of trying to update my classroom website. I am so proud of it! I have put in a lot of work trying to create a resource for my parents and students, but it is still a major and ever growing work in progress. Feel free to check it out...www.misscarltonsclass.com.
As far as vacay essentials--I won't be traveling out of town this summer, but, when I do, I do car trips. I love to listen to audiobooks on long car rides whether I am the driver or not (can't read in the car...I get so carsick!). Another fun car activity is car singing (and a little dancing) because I'm the next American Idol in the car. Also when traveling, I like to have a plan...an extremely flexible plan...but some sort of plan of action. This totally helps me prepare what I want to do or pack or see or shop! :)

I totally want an I-Pad too...even though it's totally unnecessary with my laptop! Ha! Enjoy your new toy! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the plans - it was in my vacay essentials, too. With three little girls, I have to have a plan - just to keep my sanity! Happy June!!!

Jealous of your iPad! I have always had to team plan - my entire career - which started ... 17 years ago! Whoa! I "usually" like it. We are actually kind of going in the opposite direction this coming year, as we are moving towards project based learning and we will each be doing different projects.

I found you because I am looking for a 4th grade Georgia math teacher that may have experience with the CCGPS practice standards tasks. I am wondering if you incorporated it or if you used it for the main component of your math curriculum. I like what I see, but I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on it.
