What Do You Make?

As we prepare to head back to school and my garage is a mess of me packing up to move into my new school I keep hearing "what do you make?" Well my friends . . .

But most importantly . . I MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Get ready for Back To School '13!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

You ARE Appreciated!

Have you heard?

There's going to be another BIG sale on TPT. Everything in my TPT store will be 20% off and you can get another 10% off at checkout by entering the code TAD13. That is a 30% savings on all my products! BIG savings. If you already know what grade you are teaching next year, this could be your opportunity to get stocked up on back to school stuff or if you're like me, and you just are hoping to get through this year, you might want to focus on activities and lessons that will get you to summer.

I'll be joining you at check-out on Tuesday and Wednesday!

Introducing #TeacherTalkTuesday

It's here! It's here! Teaching has made it's way to Instagram and today marks the debut of "Teacher Talk Tuesday." Here is what I shared today - I even had an interaction. What did you share?

Instagram In The Classroom!

I'm excited to announce I will be participating #TeacherTalkTuesday. A bunch of teacher bloggers will post tips and trick photos from their classroom for the first time this Tuesday. Be sure to search the hashtag on Tuesday to see all the fun!

I'll post my first #TeacherTalkTuesday link on here!

SPARKS! Lighting A Fire

I had the absolute pleasure of attending SPARKS weekend last weekend, hosted by my union, NJEA. It was a big mystery and that remains part it so I can't spoil much, except for how beautiful Cape May, NJ is. There was great bonding time with other young teacher and new tips I learned - which I began to implement in my room and will show off soon!

Happy April Fool's Day!

I pulled two pranks on my kids today! Before spring break I promised them brownies if they brought in their report today; well they did … and so did I!

I left the brownie tray on my table on day and the kids kept bugging - well when I was ready I handed out the word search … the one where none of the words were in the puzzle. After about 5 minutes of struggles and moans they figured it out. I apologized and said they deserve brownies for falling for my prank … when I opened the tray, they got mad but got a good laugh at the Brown-Es. I won today!


Oh … and my Principal fell for the Brown-Es too, she made me feel bad because she was hungry!
