As I'm in the midst of my eleventh year of teaching 5th grade, I think it's time to start (ok...I know I should've started my first year) compiling all the tips, tricks, and masterful ideas I find. I love to gather ideas from other teachers, Twitter (@MissSandgren), Pinterest (kristin17_), and of course I learn new things every time I make mistakes too!
When I started teaching, I had the BEST cooperating teacher during my student teaching experience, and I was lucky enough to join her teaching team the next year. She always encouraged me to write things down - cool ideas, the funny quotes kids say, or anything you'd want to remember. I didn't do it and now I'm kicking myself realizing how great it would've been to have that now. Oh well, every day is a new day! Best to start now!! One of my class theme songs is "Brand New Day" by Joshua Radin, and I love that it always reminds me I can start fresh!
Here we go...
