Weekly Linky Party

I'm linking up with ilovedoodlebugs.blogspot.com for this weeks weekly linky party!

I helped one of my greatest friends with her principal interview by creating  letterhead.  Part of her interview was to create a letter introducing herself to the staff and families of the school.  I thought it would look better if she create a letterhead with the school mascot and school colors then just a plain Microsoft letter.  I'm SO excited for her as she will hear back today on whether or not she got the job!  

I created an August Back to School Teacher Challenge!!!  I hope you all join in on the fun!!!

  

I took these cuties to the local 4-H Fair.  They are FEARLESS!  They loved the rides....and what's the point in going to a fair if you don't get an elephant ear...and funnel cake!   

I celebrated what would have been this little guys second birthday.  This is my nephew Brenton, and he passed away in January 2013 at daycare at 6 months.  Losing someone so precious definitely puts things into perspective!

I have been working on my cards for the Midwest Teacher Blogger Meet Up!  I can't wait to meet everyone!  

Labels

Working on chevron labels for my students supply baskets.  I'm putting numbers on the labels instead of names so I don't have to change them out each year, and I can get the labels on the baskets now instead of waiting on my class list!  I think assigning each student a number helps with management and organization.

1:1

Our school is going 1:1 this year!  We have adopted Canvas Instructure as our management tool.  Sitting in on a train the trainer session.  Can't wait to get the iPads in our students hands!  

Teacher Appreciation Sales!

Walmart is hosting a teacher appreciation sale the week of July 25th!  During that time, teachers can receive 10% off school supplies.  The sale is only good IN store.  Once you check out, register your receipt at www.walmart.com/teachers by entering your schools information and your receipt transaction code.  They will email you a gift card with the 10% back.  

TPT

My students have 6 usernames and passwords to memorize throughout the school year!  It's a lot for them to remember!  I created two different documents to help keep student logins in one central location!  I created individual student login forms so they can keep their usernames and passwords in their binder, desk, or locker.  I also created a teacher login form for each website.  That way they have all their students usernames and passwords for a given website in one place!  

TPT Freebie

I'm celebrating my new blog and my new adventure in TPT!  Enjoy my Chevron Table Signs in my TPT store!
