So I'm all about keeping it easy.  I love this new website and blog platform called teacherwebit .  The site allows teachers to quickly sign up for a subdomain, add a picture and assignment and have a blog set up in 5 minutes.  The cool feature for this blog is that you can also upgrade and name your website anything you want.  I've always wanted a Mrs.Welding.com, and I can do it here in a snap.  The second feature that is pretty cool is that once I have my portal set up, I can add all my...

I just started putting together my new website for my classroom.  I haven't gotten too far, but I thought I'd add a post here to let you know where you can build a free website, too.  I use Weebly --it's very intuitive, and you can easily upgrade to a web domain that you choose.  Others?

An interesting application-- Glogster --like a blog, but less words and more pictures...  A teacher might organize a variety of assignments from a unit of instruction--or depending on the age of your students, you students could create their own glogs around an assignment or unit. Read Full Story

I have been looking for highly engaging news stories to explicitly teach reading comprehension and fluency lessons.  I like to pair the articles with pictures and video.  I found this one about a man with 'tree like' growths all over his body.  I think a variety of reading and writing lessons could be developed around this fascinating man's story...  There are several news stories to choose from on the internet...  Read Full Story

Almost unbelievable... I'm going back to work. *big grin*  When we made this unexpected move to the desert, we thought I'd being staying home with Kate for 2 years--not so.  Kate is ready for preschool (big time), and I'm more than ready to be back in the classroom--can't wait!  I'm a little nervous because I taught in the same classroom in a great school for the first part of my career--I'm not sure what to expect in this new school in a somewhat rural community.  I'll keep you posted...

The time was coming...  I'm not currently in the classroom, and although I created this site to keep my hand in education, I'm finding that my time could be better spent other places.  I love teaching, and blogging about tips and resources has been fun, but I'm focusing more heavily on my health right now.  Feel free to join me at Juicy Alligator .  I will leave this site up till my domain name expires next year--I know that there are some great tip sheets and other resources here...  You can...
