April 2014 - The Crazy Schoolteacher

Bright Ideas: Class Dojo. It's about that time of year when we all start pulling things out of our "bag of tricks". Class Dojo. Is a great resource I use every spring to re-motivate my kiddos. All you have to do to get started is head over to Class Dojo. And create a free account. Once you have a "teacher" account, you can access all of their wonderful tools. They just added a parent communication resource! If you enjoyed this bright idea, please consider joining me on TpT. I send my kiddos data notebooks.

http://seusstastic.blogspot.com/2015/05/end-of-year-awards-updated.html
Sunday, May 3, 2015. End of the Year Awards-Updated! I created these awards. Three years ago and every year they keep getting better. With each classroom comes different students with unique personalities. Any of your students could fit any of these awards. Well, this year I created even more! I don't think there could possibly be a student that doesn't fit one of these awards! I ended up adding 35 BRAND NEW AWARDS. I added voting slips and various award tracker sheets to help with your organization.

Sunday, January 25, 2015. Camp Kindergarten Family Literacy Night. I am so excited to share some amazing ideas from our Kindergarten team at my school. We are lucky enough to have a corporation foundation that offers grants about 3x/year. Our awesome kindergarten team wrote a grant for a family literacy night with the families at our school. They went with a camping theme and it turned out absolutely amazing! The various QR codes went to various camping songs for the families to enjoy while "camping".
