In order to establish control before beginning instruction, students need a way to stop what they are doing so they can listen out for instruction. I envision myself using different strategies, such as having students stop and put their hands on their head, clapping patterns with my hands, and counting down from five to establish control of the class before I begin instruction. This will manage the classroom by making instructions clear and saving time by not having to repeat directions. by aileen

CRAFT madness

I have cried every single day for so long, telling myself I have the strength. Most days, I've barely made it through. I've faked smiles, put on the pretend "it's all good" just to make others feel comfortable. Today, I feel better, but I know it's always there - lurking like the predator that it is; waiting for my next vulnerable moment to pounce and devour me...another attempt to take me out of the game for good. by tabby7cat

During my nutcracker unit, my students loved creating their own nutcracker rhythms. Loved that there were two levels of difficulty so I could use for more than one grade. I had them record with the iPad video app and email me saying their rhythms. It allowed me to assess students on rhythm reading. by karin

Monochromatic self portraits on notecards made on the first day of school. All 800 + students matter! I have a 5 day rotation that I color coded. The color they made was based on that code. Helped them remember their code and for me to keep them organized per rainbow (didn't have a yellow day, so skipped that). by denise.su

Quotes

When your guests walk into the room, you want them to be dazzled by one killer display that takes their breath away. But be sure to stop there: If you have more than one big show going on, you run the risk of making the space visually overwhelming. Usually I go for shock and awe on my dining room table. I like to think of this long plank of wood as a stage just waiting for a story. This all-important display sets the scene for all the décor in my dining room, and often for my entire home, so I c by Annie Williamson

I open in Bridge. keep a subfolder and title it RAW. In Bridge, Rate keepers stars. I click on show filter, and then I have all 5 star rated photos show. New subfolder called Final Raw. Then first edit in ACR, then Photoshop. I save my edited photos in another subfolder titled PSD so I know that is where my master edits land. Once I am done with them, I batch rename all my PSD files in bridge to make sure that all their numbers are in order. This makes it easier for me once the orders come in. by letha
