Teacher Hack!

Ya'll.

I have a serious love for Post-It Brand Super Sticky Sticky Notes.   

They're my favorite.   I use them for formative assessment all the time.    Students also use them to brainstorm/draft their writing pieces.    Not to mention, they're awesome as a bookmark and for using to jot down a "think aloud" in your book.

I love me my sticky notes.   My super stickies.   

This year I decided to put my washi tape to good use and have a designated area for the stickies instead of them being slapped up all over the room or on my desk.    My amazing Para and her artsy self created this for me considering I'm vertically challenged.   =^_^=

The kids noticed it immediately when they came in and were hype!    

Such a simple and silly Shift... but it works!  

Remembering

Right now I really need to remember this.    Lately, it seems that there's been some gossip and just altogether nonsense and it had /has me really down.   I need to remember my people, my true people, who know me - this too shall pass... right?   I hope!

GRIT

Our principal sent us this awesome video and I seriously love it!

GRIT!

It reminds me of Shift This.   Especially when Angela says, "We have to be willing to fail.  To be wrong.  To start over with lessons learned."
