Thank goodness you do not have to wake from a comma to be able to come up with something new and innovative!! (you'd have to watch the video to get this reference) This time of year many educators want to renew their classrooms or refresh what they have been doing. Don't just throw everything out and begin from scratch...just be creative and tweak what you're doing. Struggle with creativity? Check out this this quick article about 20 things teachers can do to increase their creativity.
Wondering how to add a bit of VEGAS to your lessons or have a HOOK to get your students' attention? I know I have struggled with this and knowing where to look for videos that would engage students while relating to what I was going to cover for the day. I ran across this resource and thought I should share it with you!
The resource is called Great Big Story and can be found at www.greatbigstory.com and I hope you find it useful. I used this site to find my hook video for this blog today.
I hope everyone has had an amazing weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! - Angela

“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things."- Steve Jobs

Reminders
- When you're out, if possible please make sure that parents of the students you serve know. That can be a simple Dojo or not in agenda. Sometimes they send last minute messages that you don't see (because you're out) and if affects how they get home.
- Also, please make sure substitute teachers are aware of students and their services (especially if EC). Substitute teachers should know when students are being picked up and by who.
- Please do not start to pack up until 3 PM (K-2 students) and 3:05 (3rd-8th).
