Thursday, July 31, 2014. As promised, a sneak peek of my classroom with my WBT features. 1 Rules: I hung our 5 classroom rules in a prominent area of the classroom. Our PBIS expectations (SWAMP) also hang on this wall as "guidelines" for Rule 4. This shelf houses our supply station: pencil sharpeners, testing folders, lunch baggies to turn in money, clipboards, construction paper will go in the black stacking trays, etc. And I LOOOOVE building the suspense before I explain it! 5 Kid computer area.

Monday, April 30, 2012. I still need to get the rest of the Disney pics on here from the road trip home, but I was feeling guilty having not posted for a while. I'll just post this little something that made my day. On Friday, the boys were best of friends all day. Lego and cars made for a quiet, peaceful day, all day that only got better. AJ had recently lost his other front tooth and decided to use up all his save tooth fairy money to buy a toy. Not just one toy, but . AJ and Dexter's Mom. Everytime we...

Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Snow Day #3 and 5 Step Lesson Plans. I can hardly believe that we are on Snow Day #3 here in Louisiana! I've enjoyed a lazy day of baby snuggles, a recovery day getting over a stomach bug mixed with cold and congestion, and now a day of house cleaning and catching-up on my school work. Which brings me to my first post since November. I've gotten really (REALLY) behind. But on with the WBT program! What's the best way to include critical thinking with EVERY lesson you teach?

Sunday, April 26, 2015. Revamped Universal Homework Model (Star Homework). After a LOT of consideration this year I ended up completely deleting ALL homework assignments (cue the gasping and eye rolling). The kids in my school/district/state are in a total state of turmoil because of the Common Core vs. Anti-Common Core political game that is being played right in front of them. One of the biggest concerns is the amount of homework given. Aha moment of the century. How have I NEVER thought of this before?

Sunday, November 11, 2012. A Little Bit of Pumpkin Patch and . The Apple Barn 2012! Too lazy to turn pictures. As Blogger gets more and more easy for uploading pictures in batches quickly, I'm amazed that they do not have a rotating option that I can notice. Dexter took this one. Baby Pollywog turned 19!
