Tool #4

1.)
I created an ID pad on word and shared it with Jill F, Jill S, and Anita G. We use these in the start of the year so the kiddos can memorize their lunch number. I think I did it right...
I went through the different templates Google Docs has and it's pretty great! I can see myself using several of them to make my life a bit easier. :)
2.)
I set up Reader and spent some time browsing it. It's really cool!!! I have to agree with what another teacher said (Jill S). It's nice to read the postings on Reader but I rather go through their blogs.
3.)
I really don't know if the kiddos could benfit from this. I think it's great to use as a school and even as a district...
I'm having a hard time picturing this in Kinder. :(

Tool # 3--cool thing 2

I really liked this one!! I can use this for when we practice writing sentences and writing words in the correct order.

Tool # 3---Cool thing 1

It took me forever to figure out how to save this...

I can use this in the classroom for morning message. There's so many different options that the possibilities are endless!

Tool #2

1.) I have mixed emotions about the PLN. I like reading about what other people think and say but I really don't like sharing :) I guess this is a challenge that I have to take. I'll keep you posted...
2.) The one that stood out to me was #8; Be controversial? :) Many people avoid it but sometimes it's good for it will let you learn more about that person. The way I see it is as long as you're not disrespecting anybody it's cool!
3.) The people I will follow will be....

1. Jill Sherrill-My DL Partner
2. Jill Fairchild-K teamate
3. Anita Garcia-K teamate
4. Mr. Glover-Science SIS that will try his hardest to give Kinder everything we need! :)
5. Pam Brennan- very cool and interesting teacher that I just love to talk to!!
