ABCya! | Story Maker - 1 views

    A friend shared: "When some Kindergarten teachers at [his school] asked [me] to find a web tool to help their students create simple drawings and write sentences below them, I searched but found nothing. So, I asked ABCYa's Alan Tortolani (a friend of mine) if he could come up with something. Here's the result. Kids love it! Printed output looks great. Perfect for early writers and artists!

  • reflecting on our own practices
  • Just by taking a few moments to write it out, you are already more prepared for next year when you pull out that lesson again.  Much like a artist, you are honing your craft and tweaking it until it is the best version of your teaching.

  • it really is a good habit to be in and will help you realize what is working for your students - and what isn't.  Or how a good lesson could be GREAT. 
  •   Choosing your own classroom changes and challenges
  • stretch
  • try something that would make a difference to both my students, their learning, their parents, and to how I felt about conference night. 
  • Just be you and be at peace with those things you cannot control - and be excited about those you can.

    This promotes a book, but it is a nice little article. It serves as a nice little reminder that we constantly have to adapt and make changes, and that that's okay. The book seems like a good summer read too!

When your students misbehave for other teachers - 0 views

  • Most students view specials classes as a break from regular learning. That’s not true, of course, but it’s how they see it.
  • In many students’ minds, it’s not necessary to sit still and listen to the teacher until “real” learning takes place again back in their own classroom with their “real” teacher.
  • So if you can, plan those less active lessons for the days students have PE or other specials that permit them to move around, and on the days when students will need to concentrate during specials, try to plan more hands-on activities in your classroom beforehand.

  • If a particular teacher has a hard time handling your class or certain students in your class, talk with him or her about it when the kids aren’t around. You could say, “I know __ can be challenging sometimes. One thing I’ve tried in my classroom with him/her is ___. I’ve also tried ___ and sometimes that works, too.” Find out what kind of routines and behavior management/reward systems the teacher is using, and share what has worked in your room
  • Don’t put yourself on a guilt trip about something that happened while another teacher was in charge
  • The key to getting students to behave appropriately no matter where they’re at is teaching them to make wise decisions for themselves and exercise self-control rather than depending on teacher control

    A good article. Sometimes, it's a struggle to know what to do about a situation that occurred when you weren't around. This article gives a proactive approach.
