A Picture of My Classroom These Days

 Our character wall! I just loved building it because it brought so much color and livelihood to our classroom! My kids also used it frequently as a quick reference tool once they started writing...

 Making relational connections between characters

Yes, I bought all those colored index cards. 

Student Work up close







 Oh, and Happy Birthday to me (and Jamie)! I hope my kids remember to bring cupcakes...

"How To" Paper Gone Wrong


This is exactly as written – very funny – even funnier if it weren’t  so sad.

“How to write an paper”

Haven’t you ever waned to write an good paper? Just for the fun of it or because you needed to, but you just couldn’t?
  Well writing a paper is not that hard at all, in fact is very easy to write one! All you need is your brain, a pencil and allot of paper.
  When you have all that all you need to do is start to think of what you want to write about, you can write about anything you want like for example you can write about a time you when to the Zoo or a birthday that you really like or even about your regular day in school or at home. You can write about pretty much anything you want.
  To start writing a paper is very easy when you know about what you want to write.
  The first thing you want to do is make up an title that would get every one’s attention, some thing that sound’s smart but at the same time not boring.
  With the title chose go ahead and start writing your first paragraph, this paragraph should be the “Introduction”, here you write about what you are going to write about or some times its the very beginning of the story.
  Then you move on to the second paragraph which is the paragraph in where you write all the story but the beginning and end in other words you write the middle of your story but don’t forget that this part can be more than one paragraph.
   Now that you have wrote the “beginning/introduction” and the “middle” of your story you are ready to write the last paragraph is this part you write about the end. Here you say the parts that need to be clear down or questions are answer.
  But don’t forget to make an draft and then write an final copy. And ALL WAYS do crammer check and read your work to see if it makes sense.
