With my little blog break that I took, I missed two huge milestones...200 posts and 400 followers! You can bet yourself that there will be a giveaway in the near future! I need to get through this next week and then our STAAR testing the following week. I promise it is going to be an amazing giveaway that you do not want to miss out on!
A plus is that I have finished all of my grad school assignments for the semester except for my Action Research project that is due on Saturday. At least our class time today was very useful and I was able to dialogue with some of my cohort members. My professor seems to also be very excited about my topic because she kept using it as a reference when we were talking about it in a whole class setting. I just hope that I do not disappoint her.
Monday and Tuesday I am headed to a conference in San Antonio that I am so excited for. I get to listed to The Sisters, yes I said The Sisters, present at the Daily 5 and CAFE conference in San Antonio. Their books have really been a huge help for me during my first year and I cannot wait to actually learn from them. I am hoping to even get a picture with them. You can bet I will be blogging about what I learn and the conference. Are an of you going to be there? If so, I would love to meet up and say hi! My principal is having another teacher go with me who has no idea what the Daily 5 or CAFE is. I have a feeling she is not going to be too interested, but I have got to give her a chance.
I also cannot believe that I only have 6 weeks left of school! My first school year with my own classroom has absolutely flown by! I also got word the other day that my principal has a new idea that she wants to try with me next year. All I know right now is that it would involve teaching both ELA and Math which I would not mind. I should know more in the next few weeks about it. :)
Be on the lookout for my mega giveaway!



Congratulations on your blog accomplishments and almost completing your first year teaching! I am new to this crazy blogging thing and thought I would say hello :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Katie:
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you think about The Sisters--in particular, should I go to one day or both?
I will be in Washington when they are there... I'm definitely thinking of signing up!
I'm looking forward to your review...
Please e-mail me at joyin6th@gmail.com if that is a better way to share the info.
I'm just trying to figure out which day/info would be best for a sixth grade teacher...
Hope you had a great time!
