12 Days of Summer...

On the 12th day left of summer vacation my blogger gave (not really gave...its costs $) to meeeee....a Circle Chevron Border pack on Tpt!  

That's rights folks!  In only 12 days I am back and at 'em!  Hard to believe the summer is almost gone...*TEAR*!  BUT as always I am pretty excited to get back in my room.  I have made another Chevron Border pack to celebrate the summer's end and I hope you enjoy it!  I went with a circle look this time and included more colors & neons too (I'm kinda lovin' the neon thing right now)!

Neon Freebie...

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone is enjoying the last week of July.     Holy cow!  I can't believe how fast this month has gone!  I made a quick freebie and thought I would share it with you...

Easy Peasy Data Collection...

There are two words that I find daunting throughout the school year...you know what they are.  They are often said at the Beginning of Year, Middle of Year, and End of Year...that's right - DATA COLLECTION!!!  

As we know, data collection is a HUGE part of teaching.  Test students, group students, teach, repeat!  While data collection is important, necessary, and useful we also know it is EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING!  Testing 20 little minds independently on 5 or more different assessments can take lots of time and bodies.

This year I am trying something new!  I have created a Student Data Tracker that I am going to use with my students throughout the year.  This data tracker will not only make data collection easier on me, but will teach students to set and monitor goals, be responsible and independent, and allow them to celebrate their success!  Click the picture to download my Student Data Tracker!

Chevron Border Pack...

I use this Chevron Border Pack for lots of things in my classroom and for items I sell on TpT! I even used the grey background to create the header at the top of my blog page. Click the picture to buy my Chevron Borders Pack for just $2.00!
