Meet the Rill Teacher. Wednesday, August 06, 2014. Narrative Writing with Nothing Ever Happens on 90th Street. I've linked up again with Deanna Jump's We Love Books! I love when a book just seems like it was written to match my lessons! And so it is with Nothing Ever Happens on 90th Street. Next Mr. Morley advises her to "Try to find the poetry in your pudding. There's always a new way with old words." Eva tries to come up with new words to describe Mr. Morley's chocolate mousse. Finally Mrs. Martine...

http://primarychalkboard.blogspot.com/2015/08/parent-input-freebie.html
It's Lisa from Growing Firsties dropping by today to talk a bit about getting Parent Input. Over the last few years I've been pretty jazzed about Growth Mindset. You may have already seen this recent Primary Chalkboard post. Or this Growing Firsties post. Smile if you like getting input from your students' parents at the beginning of the year about their child's learning style and personality. (Did ya smile? Need extra organizational help. Be reluctant to try something new. Here's a bit of a closer look:.

If you'd like to try this yourself, there's a FREE set of printables over on my blog! I used water...
