We reinforce behaviors and strategies when we say our promise. It's a great way to start the day and comes filled with so many daily opportunities to discuss and reflect on classroom community.<br />

Seriously, the students learn so much from creating a learning rubric. The growth is amazing! Here is a writing rubric I created with my kinders. They helped design the whole thing. Each component took us a couple of days to learn and practice and before we knew it, we had a very helpful self-assessment tool. Students work on their pieces until they have "Flower Power"!<br />

<div>
Kicking B-U-T-T!</div>
<div>
You go girls!</div>
<div>
I am super proud to be a wife, mom, and teacher.</div>
<div>
I am grateful that there are women brave enough to fight back but,</div>
<div>
I know that there are many women who are also hiding that need help.</div>
<div>
I try my best to help those in need, </div>
<div>
but what if they never ask for help?</div>
<div>
What if they are too afraid?</div>
<div>
What if they don't know who to ask?</div>
<div>
I am praying tonight for solutions to help those in need and hope that they find their light soon.</div>

We are not here to compete or copy exactly, but to gain inspiration from each other's strengths. As I look around at the classrooms we've all created, I am in awe of what we all have accomplished together.<br />
Thank you to all of the teacher's out there who take their time, night after long night to share and reflect on their own talents. It's well worth the troubles and sometimes a happy and helpful distraction from the negativity and nay-sayers.<br />

Being a part of an IB school taught me to start planning from science and social studies and then branch out to literacy and math activities from there. This help me so much because I can then really lay down a rigorous unit from a single strand.<div>

I use numbers for quick reference, but you could put names in each box instead. ALso, you can use one observation page over the course of the unit and just use a different color for each day you observe, noting the color code and date. Observations could be from Morning Meetings, Science Centers, Homework, or quick assessments.</a></td></tr>

Nicole is well on her way to becoming a certified WBT Teacher Level 5!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't wait to see how she rolls out the practices in her classroom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She had so many great ideas I had to learn even more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This led me to become a member on WBT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Certification Points through FB lessons/tasks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great Free Materials!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fantastic and Inspiring Videos!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(so many !!! I can hardly take it)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just wanted to also share the love, because really that is another reason why this approach is so successful. It is a group sourced behavior management system that is growing and changing as we need it to. In order for this to really work, it needs to be practiced within the classroom and share what has worked. Let's do this!</div>

<br />
Like the new look? I have been playing around with a new colorful layout and probably won't stop here...<br />
<br />
Like you, I love to be organized. That being said, I sure do love a binder. I have a few that I keep the same every year, like:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Professional Information: Good to organize your evaluation results, contracts, and time-off requests.</li>
<li>Teaching Portfolio: Using your districts evaluation rubric, it's good to save examples of lessons and student work that prove your worth. :)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These binders change every year:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Data Notebook</li>
<li>Lesson Plans</li>
<li>Student Information and Parent Contact</li>
</ul>
<div>
Now here are some binder covers that I made for this year.</div>

A lovely group of Virginia bloggers would like to help usher in the new school year by extending a bit of southern hospitality. You can follow along the blog hop to visit 20+ Virginia teacher blogs for terrific teaching tips and fun freebies to help get your new school year off to a great start.<br />
<br />
Hi there! I'm a newbie to the state, but was given a warm welcome from Nikki to join the VA posse for this fun freebie hop. I have taught mostly 1st, but spent half of last year teaching 4th grade math. This year I find myself in Fairfax, VA teaching 2nd grade in an IB school. I am very excited and hope that you come by every once and a while to see what I've been up to in my classroom.<br />
<br />
In the meanwhile, I have been doing a lot of thinking about my future class room. The school is having major renovations done this summer so I won't be able to see what it looks like or what I will have available for a few more weeks. The agony! So after looking around teacher blogland, I decided to put a little decoration pack together that we can use for a whole host of things. I love Lilly Bimble's cute papers!<br />

I am always on the lookout for fun games to play in the classroom. Always have to be prepared for indoor recess! So, I checked out this book from the library:<br />

If I am hungry, I am grumpy. Who wants a hungry grump around? Not me and certainly not my kiddos.

I also love the Starbucks VIA instant coffees.</div>
