Mrs. A-Colwell's Class: July 2014
http://acolwell.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2014. After 9 amazing years of teaching first grade, I'm moving to third grade! I am so excited to take on a new set of challenges. ;). My long-term goal is to get my masters degree and my admin. certification, so I need to experience other grades, and certainly tackle some standardized testing. ugh, the STAAR test. :/. Any advice or resource tips for third grade are appreciated! I look forward to sharing what I learn and what my third graders accomplish this coming year!

Sunday, June 22, 2014. Integrating QR Codes Across Subjects. My students had a blast doing research about U.S. and Texas symbols! I printed the Texas symbols QR codes that you can find here. And the U.S symbols packet that you can find here. I posted them in a student accessible location. ;) Then, my students used the free app, Scan, to scan the codes. They were so engaged! Saturday, June 21, 2014. I stumbled upon this video while working on another QR code packet… very interesting. I love the ...View my...

Mrs. A-Colwell's Class: Changing Education Paradigms
http://acolwell.blogspot.com/2014/06/changing-education-paradigms.html
Saturday, June 21, 2014. I stumbled upon this video while working on another QR code packet… very interesting. I love the "big picture" thinking. It's hard to fit kids in the mold required by specific standards and especially standardized testing AND excite them and engage them at a high level. That's the balance we walk as educators. I'd be curious to hear what you think about this video and this speaker's opinions. Your comments are appreciated! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tabor Math Model Wiki.

Mrs. A-Colwell's Class: QR Code Binge!
http://acolwell.blogspot.com/2013/04/qr-code-binge.html
Friday, April 12, 2013. I've been obsessing this week over QR code resources and ideas. If you follow me on Twitter or Pinterest, this is not news to you. ;) I decided it was time to create a post showing the highlights of what I've learned and found. First, this blog was a great find. I follow Tony Vincent on Twitter. But I had no idea how informative his blog was. Check it out by clicking below. I found this blog while researching OR codes. Tony has a great video about the basics of QR Codes. Check our...

Sunday, March 1, 2015. Something Needs to Change. I recently came across this blog post via Facebook and I guess it struck a nerve. Take a look and see if it also resonates with you. Https:/ www.facebook.com/elizabeth.bateman.505/posts/10100871097276054. Seriously. This is so accurate and it really is a problem. It makes our days stressful to live this way. Less stressed out teachers can focus better on what they're teaching and therefore students will, in general, learn better! And you can go out to eat?

Tuesday, October 14, 2014. I have been completely wrapped up in learning 3rd grade! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I can't believe I was so afraid to leave the comfort of 1st grade! Third graders are so much easier to manage all day long, haha. I made this symbaloo to help some students improve on addition and subtraction fact fluency, and to allow other students to move on with multiplication and division.

Monday, April 13, 2015. Texas Teacher Salaries in Trouble. Someone very smart sent this to me today. Please read and help, my fellow Texans! Teachers are some of the hardest working, caring individuals in the world. They pay for their jobs! They buy many supplies for the classroom and their students. They work before 8 am and hours after 4 pm The Texas State Senate has embarrassingly DISRESPECTED EVERY TEACHER in the STATE of TEXAS by voting to reduce salaries without steps!
