I mean really, why didn't we opt for long tables with continuous benches? Why did we go with round tops with tiny round seats? Who likes sitting on those? Clearly you can't get have more than 5 friends, because the lack of seating will cause fights at the lunch table every. single. day. This is high school after all, the drama seeps from the walls.<br />
<br />
Anyways. I digress.<br />
<br />
I understand that these meetings are "important" and that there is documentation that needs to be reviewed, signed, and collected. I just think this meeting would be better off later... or done by Google Classroom assignments. I can't believe I sat for 8 hours and "participated", yet have no idea what I learned. This is what students must feel like. What a good reminder of what not to do in my classes...<br />
<br />
Give me a checklist and a scavenger hunt like you do for end-of-the-year checkout. I'll get it done. You can sign off on it, it can be official documentation.<br />
<br />
UPDATE: One week later...<br />
<br />
Here is a pretty picture of my door. Our faculty theme this year is RISE. (Because, well, we were a B school last year, so...) Immediately I knew I wanted to use the phrase "Rise and Grind," but since this is high school and everything can be taken "the wrong way," I'm hoping this coffee theme will lessen that incorrect interpretation. And maybe it will even get me a cup or two of Starbucks from <strike>brown-nosing, tardy</strike> students who want to win me over. (No bribes. They don't work.) <br />

I don't have any other "AFTER" pictures to post yet. I DID manage to turn in my emergency sub plans, lesson plans for chemistry & environmental science for two weeks, made copies (read printed a lot from my printer), arranged my supply boxes, spray painted my Expo marker holders for each desk, and hung part of my decorations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I must admit, going in to year TEN (!!!), I am the least prepared that I've ever been. And I'm kind of okay with it. I have plans, I have a general semester outline, I'll gradually get it all down in ink (and on Google Classroom), I just didn't spend the summer obsessing. And, it was really great! As much last minute notice gives me hives, I really know that I'll be great once I get into the swing of things, and having a TRUE SUMMER OFF was bliss!</div>

Ok, gotta pack lunches and set the timer on the coffee pot. I've got to go in early tomorrow to hide the chaos and put on my first day smile. </div>

The Path of Totality, or greatest blockage of the Sun's light, will travel from Oregon to South Carolina, right down the middle of the continental United States. It's *almost* perfectly timed for the school day too, which means no matter what subject you teach, or if you homeschool your kiddos, you will be able to squeeze this monumental event into your day. The eclipse begins in Madras, Oregon around 9:00 local time (PDT) and they can expect Totality to occur at 10:19 am. Moving East throughout the day, Nebraska and Missouri will witness the phases of the eclipse for a longer period of time, with the first signs of the eclipse, First Contact, around 11:35 am and Totality around 1:00 pm. Southern Illinois gets the lucky spot with the Greatest Duration, meaning the eclipse will last the longest there. First signs around 11:50 am and Totality at 1:20, lasting an estimated 2 minutes and 40 seconds. And Kentucky has the pleasure of the Greatest Eclipse, where the most sunlight will be blocked at Totality. The final lucky viewers, in Columbia, South Carolina, can expect the eclipse to begin just after 1:10pm and Totality to occur at 2:40pm. <br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Aw, bummer! I don't live on the Path of Totality! Not to worry. As I said before, all of the continental United States will get to witness at least a Partial Solar Eclipse, meaning that *most* of the Sun will be blocked, just not the perfect halo of alignment like those lucky viewers along the Path of Totality.<br />

I know it seems like it should be *fine*, but burn retinas aren't cool. So, make an eclipse viewer with your kiddos. It's easy. It's fast. It doesn't require anything you don't already have in the closet. And, you will save your precious eye sight, which seems like a really good idea!<br />

Time to relax, unwind, breathe, ... and stress about ALL the THINGS that need to be done to my Teachers Pay Teachers store.<br />
<br />
I want to learn about Pinterest. I want to redo all of my covers. I want to start over on some of my old products that haven't ever sold. I want to create my tracking documents in excel. I want to update all of my product descriptions to include links to more similar products (I took the easy way out, and just linked them all to my biggest bundle).<br />
<br />
I'm no expert, that is true, but I've given myself 6 Tips to AVOID Update Overload.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1. Focus on SMALL products that can be created quickly (but with high quality)</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoJLykVuWSAFGkhKdXRVR42zBJUnKbCDDaUj3gfFZLER2NC4xQhuSZhII9_btqBICaV4ENFQ-g9VPAXazNc-YaF-8SO2a1_JvgqW5qe66BYu5VVn0Esgzbq4tVMoczeTz6hf7USwMjOzpa/s1600/Slide2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="364" height="131" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoJLykVuWSAFGkhKdXRVR42zBJUnKbCDDaUj3gfFZLER2NC4xQhuSZhII9_btqBICaV4ENFQ-g9VPAXazNc-YaF-8SO2a1_JvgqW5qe66BYu5VVn0Esgzbq4tVMoczeTz6hf7USwMjOzpa/s320/Slide2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Think items that use the same template, or pieces of a bundle.<br />
Example: Cornell Notes Template & 3 different Biology units using that template<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. Learn something new and apply it (from this point forward)</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyDv3u01-z9115HqyVSmF36RgqoXVgAokR_8RYuj0Y_LcPQ10rKtIOgdI-oTa4wekSp_4xTFHK7ceMrKS71HsbmvTfTh40kn11q2-FtzMjG9xPseFnPCI3moOo2_WsDNhQ8kPxpWxuyYOc/s1600/Slide6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyDv3u01-z9115HqyVSmF36RgqoXVgAokR_8RYuj0Y_LcPQ10rKtIOgdI-oTa4wekSp_4xTFHK7ceMrKS71HsbmvTfTh40kn11q2-FtzMjG9xPseFnPCI3moOo2_WsDNhQ8kPxpWxuyYOc/s320/Slide6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Don't try to go back and fix everything you've created so far. There will be times you don't have time to create new products, and you can update the old ones with your new knowledge<br />
Example: Watched a video about Pinterest Pins -- changed my COLORING covers (and created a new cover template to use going forward)<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3. Don't Reinvent the Wheel</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggEK6anAQEPhdRoJY3GkKH5iMM35-UdAblwH03RF48OrbywbCHXNU-cIjhIG7nlba1oMsYT5lNnS5MnlacIKQiAeGJR84Qkpe5cEneMj6YfuXm9HuwvtSRwcuxmwG6zJFAhngGnEuHLD8y/s1600/MAIN+COVER.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1267" data-original-width="1266" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggEK6anAQEPhdRoJY3GkKH5iMM35-UdAblwH03RF48OrbywbCHXNU-cIjhIG7nlba1oMsYT5lNnS5MnlacIKQiAeGJR84Qkpe5cEneMj6YfuXm9HuwvtSRwcuxmwG6zJFAhngGnEuHLD8y/s320/MAIN+COVER.png" width="319" /></a></div>
<br />
Stick to your productive best sellers. How can you grow those ideas?<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">4. Be ready for BACK TO SCHOOL</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimOML1qj0bdIHBk1k6OELEnmtw-QoeVdC2rtCmGNRBTmUiREwmQCbQ3cMAKL54WN_JB8oN56wSN8AvaJaswjvxHqMT29Zwweqblkr_WLPrHiQf0hekcM1w5ZLMhRO5chFFDS9mWVOg8EII/s1600/Slide1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="364" height="131" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimOML1qj0bdIHBk1k6OELEnmtw-QoeVdC2rtCmGNRBTmUiREwmQCbQ3cMAKL54WN_JB8oN56wSN8AvaJaswjvxHqMT29Zwweqblkr_WLPrHiQf0hekcM1w5ZLMhRO5chFFDS9mWVOg8EII/s320/Slide1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Try to market my existing products as Back to School items. Create Pins & Facebook posts that shows my followers how to use as a first day/week/unit item.<br />
Example: Big Kid Coloring as Binder Covers, Cornell Notes Template, General Classroom Bundle for setting up rules and procedures.<br />
<br />

I noticed that I'm gaining organic Instagram followers and that I'm getting traffic to TpT from my blog. So, here I am updating my blog. (I also want to change this at some point, but if it's driving traffic, I'll take what I have for now).<br />

My TpT birthday is in July. I'm excited about the success of my first year. I know that I will continue to grow as long as I continue to create quality products that I can use in my classroom. I will slowly learn the marketing side, and I will become more efficient. <br />

I am totally going to toot my own horn right now. I (read the directions and after many missteps) figured out how to:</div>
<div>
a) create the appropriate sized pictures to go in my TpT quote box</div>
<div>
b) save them as jpegs (and adjust the pixel size!)</div>
<div>
c) upload them to a FREE GIF maker </div>
<div>
d) save the GIF</div>
<div>
e) embed the GIF in my TPT quote box</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Aren't you impressed?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I'm not going to lie, it took me forever and a day just to figure out the series of steps to make a static "cute" quote box. But, then, since I'd already spent the better part of an hour trying to figure out which character I'd messed up in the line of code, I decided to go for it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And you know what, making the GIF was the easiest part of all! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So these are the images I decided to use. I wanted to spruce up my store for the upcoming CYBER MONDAY & TUESDAY SALE (which you <u style="font-style: italic;">ALL</u> know about, right?) and so I made these in PowerPoint and then went from there.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">HOW TO CREATE SLIDES & SAVE AS JPEG IMAGES</span></h2>
<div>
<br />
<ol>
<li>Create a NEW slide show, click on THEMES to select SLIDE SIZE. Customize the slide size: Width: 4.25 inches x Height: 1.75 inches.</li>
<li>Design the number of slides you'd like in your animated GIF. (I'm not a graphic designer, so I'm sure that my slides will get better over time.)</li>
<li>SAVE YOUR WORK!</li>
<li>On my Mac, I can select SAVE AS PICTURES. When I select it, I can choose the file type JPEG. Then click OPTIONS. At the bottom, I can adjust the pixels. I set my max height to be 150 pixels, and the width automatically changed (to about 380). (Do not exceed 175 wide x 450 tall).</li>

<li>Open a new tab in your browser, and go to the website <a href="http://gifmaker.me/">GIFMAKER.ME</a></li>
<li>UPLOAD your JPEG images from the folder on your computer.</li>
<li>(I found that if I uploaded the "whole slide show" three times in a row, it wouldn't freeze at the end of the animation.)</li>
<li>Select your timing. I used 1500 milliseconds. It might be too fast. 2000 milliseconds might be too slow. Play around with it.</li>
<li>I left ALL OF THE OTHER SETTINGS alone! (Including number of repeats. It was set to 0, which means infinite.)</li>
<li>On the bottom right you can select DOWNLOAD GIF.</li>
<li>It will open as a preview and defaults to your DOWNLOADS folder. However, I renamed it from the preview and saved it into the folder with my other store banners.</li>

<li>On the next screen it will give you a shortened web address. You will need this for "hacking" your quote box. (I suggest that you not only copy to clipboard, but also write it down. Between this step and actually pasting into the code, I made many errors and had to try again and again.)</li>

<br />
This morning I decided that I'm going to pay $20 to feature my All-in-One Bulletin Board: Molecular Genetics on Teachers Pay Teachers next month. (I'm hoping everyone is following a similar pacing guide, and will hit THE CENTRAL DOGMA OF BIOLOGY at the same time I will.)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinN7HOlSF5B_92XeQxSGF0Wbgyx6s4oJOn13L6Ks3iHdb6nsEAYJFAMWCCfmAC41Hzc-YcGXmY5dLsI7nOyPNYEtk5g2Z-1JeOUAkg-8tJwWRtxfgPIqMWAhV6-oMnrrKuuAG_U2yPzhN3/s1600/TpT+Promo+BLOG+POST.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinN7HOlSF5B_92XeQxSGF0Wbgyx6s4oJOn13L6Ks3iHdb6nsEAYJFAMWCCfmAC41Hzc-YcGXmY5dLsI7nOyPNYEtk5g2Z-1JeOUAkg-8tJwWRtxfgPIqMWAhV6-oMnrrKuuAG_U2yPzhN3/s320/TpT+Promo+BLOG+POST.png" width="284" /></a>From September 19th through the 22nd, my product will be featured at the top of the product listing page (IF the user selects to sort by SCIENCE and 9-12.) I can use my earnings to pay for the promotion, so I don't have to put up any money up front, which is really nice. <br />
<br />
Because I'm featuring this product, I decided that I needed to go back and make sure I applied the advice I got from Misty Miller, as well as make a few minor changes to my logo and preview page. <br />
<br />
I needed to :<br />
1. Copyright EVERY page<br />
2. Include my PLEASE READ: Terms of Use, Follow Me, Provide Feedback, and Credits pages<br />
3. Update my thumbnails and previews with a watermark<br />
<br />
Of course, its never as simple as 1,2,3. First I had to update my logo to include a font that I know I had purchased, therefore have commercial copyright permission to use. Then I had to go in and update the image on my PLEASE READ document and the thumbnail for the preview. While I was in the preview, I also moved the blocks around to make the product description more visible. Then I had to edit a typo on the Follow Me page, create the Provide Feedback page, and edit the Credits page. Once all of those minor changes, that took 2 hours, were done, I was able to insert the PLEASE READ pdf into the existing pdf. I had to add in the copyright text on each page and I finally was able to upload the modified document 3 hours after I began.<br />
<br />
I hope that now my edits will be faster, all I will need to do is insert the copyright and the modified PLEASE READ document into each of the All-in-One Bulletin Board files and then upload to TpT. I know I need to edit my bundle so that they contain the copyrighted pages, and then I'll have to make time to do the previews and modify the thumbnails. But, that is not happening today. Today, I'm done with TpT, and on to grading tests and entering grades online.<br />
<br />
Have any of you had to modify your TpT materials? Have you found a simpler way?

<br /></div>
I did what every great student needs to do, I asked for feedback. I wanted positive words of encouragement and constructive criticism on my overall look, pricing, and quality for my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Sunshine-State-Science" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sunshine State Science store on Teachers pay Teachers.</a> <br />
<br />
I went on to the forums and I asked for input. And from the 6 responses I got, I was very pleased. I had some great insight on what to include from <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Misty-Miller-2841" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Misty Miller,</a> who's blog, <a href="http://justathoughtortwotpt.blogspot.com/">http://justathoughtortwotpt.blogspot.com</a> is just a treasure trove of helpful hints for anyone that wants to improve their Teachers Pay Teachers store. <br />

Misty has GREAT advice, and better yet, EASY TO FOLLOW instructions on how to improve almost every aspect of your store. Her first suggestions for me were to include the copyright on <i>every single</i> page of each document, add a Terms of Use and Credits page (along with info on how to Follow Me), and finally to add hyperlinks in my product descriptions.<br />

It will be a <i>loooong</i> time before I get a chance to edit EVERY SINGLE ONE of my 71 products to make sure they are up to date. But I will do at least one per weekend until Christmas Break, and then I'll reassess.

<br />
The first week is so important for setting expectations, practicing classroom routines, modifying behavior, preparing for all the uncomfortable growth the brain will do throughout the year. And for some reason, my first thought every year is, DECORATE! Not organized, neat & uncluttered, but full on Pinterest-ed!<br />
<br />
Rather than taking the time to set up the bins and boxes, I quickly Clorox-ed the cabinets and surfaces and began my room beautification process. I spent days, at least two full ones, hot gluing posters to my walls, making makeshift bulletin boards from cork squares and plastic tablecloths. I posted all of my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Learning-Goal-Scale-Nature-of-Science-2624960" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Learning Goals</a>, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Marzano-Scale-Nature-of-Science-2628815" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Marzano Scales</a>, Essential Questions, Vocabulary, and even made a place to celebrate success as evidence of my deliberate practice. I went to multiple stores to stock up on new hot glue sticks, double sided tape, borders, fabric scraps, and cute pushpins. As I looked at Pinterest Biology classrooms, I felt less than average, Let me tell you, when I got to the end of the day on Thursday, I felt ready to move on to updating my syllabi and photocopying my first three days work of handouts.<br />
<br />
Feeling good on Friday, I left knowing I wouldn't have to wait in line for the copier. I could tackle a new lesson planning software that promises to make my life easier, as soon as I manage to figure it out (without training).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2251615625568627942" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>And then Monday morning arrived. Two full days before students reported, half of the artifacts I had dutifully displayed were dangling, a quarter were already on the floor. Ugh! Really? Phew! At least the Learning Goals, Marzano Scales, Essential Questions, Vocabulary, and Celebrations of Success had weathered the humidity and soaring temperatures of a weekend without AC.<br />
<br />
By the time students were waking up on Wednesday, the dangling had begun drooping and dropping. My masterpiece, the <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/All-in-One-Bulletin-Board-Nature-of-Science-2631716" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">All-in-One Display</a>, had lost its battle, oh how the mighty had fallen. (And I didn't even get to take a picture to use on <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Sunshine-State-Science" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my TpT store</a>!!! GRRR!) The hours of work staring up at me from the dusty, cockroach trodden floor. I pulled down the last of the hangers-on and tidied up. I. WAS. ANNOYED, but optimistic. Maybe I'll have my kids re-glue them to the walls when we are ready to display their first set of content review bulletin boards. It can be part of their project, design the display space...<br />
<br />
I didn't spend the time organizing my supply closet, (read: I threw everything in and closed the door. The tornado may have touched down less than a quarter mile from school during orientation, but it wrecked havoc on my supply closet!) or setting up all of the interactive notebook supply bins. I wasted my time decorating and it was all for naught.<br />
<br />
So. Lesson learned. Pinterest has beautiful rooms with banners and borders and alternative seating options... but I need to use this year as an eye-opener. The check boxes don't ask for color schemes or coordinating frog themes, they ask for organization, neatness and lack of clutter. I can get points for an orderly environment. I have already displayed the Learning goals/data on the panes of the cabinets where plenty of clear tape will hold them in place. <br />
<br />
Next year, I'll set a reminder on my phone to read this post and start with CLEANING and ORGANIZING, not decorating.<br />

<li>Use acetone on a lint-free rag to clean the table tops. DO NOT USE SOAP (per the directions on the primer can).</li>
<li>Shake the primer vigorously. Open, stir completely, pour into paint tray.</li>
<li>Roll primer on to table tops and sides, using a somewhat thick coating. (I did NOT sand the table tops, once I cleaned them, I went straight to primer and had no issues.) </li>
<li>DO AT LEAST 3 COATS. Per the directions on the primer can, allow 1 hour between coats. The dry erase paint does not have much of a white background, so you want complete coverage with the primer.</li>
<li>Allow to set overnight.</li>
</ol>
Save any leftover primer for next summer - the original post suggests reapplying before each school year. (I did 12 tables and used 2/3 of the gallon of primer.)</div>

<li>Shake the dry-erase coating and base paint cans vigorously. Open each, pour A into B and stir completely. Pour into paint tray.</li>
<li>Roll dry-erase paint on to table tops and sides, using a thin coating. (This is a VERY thin paint, be careful with splashing.) The roller will make it look texturized as you apply, but it does dry to become a slick surface.</li>
<li>DO AT LEAST 3 COATS. Per the directions on the box, allow 30 minutes between coats. </li>
<li>Allow to cure for 3 days.</li>
</ol>

I used 3 boxes of dry-erase paint for 12 tables. I have a back up box, just in case, but after testing, I didn't seem to need an extra coat, even though I have some "dull" spots.<br />

<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My Notes & Opinions:</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Overall, I'm amped to try these out with the kids on the first day of school! I think they are really going to enjoy working problems and brainstorming on these tables, rather than in their notebooks. I can see a lot of jig-sawing and collaboration in their future.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">EVERY. SINGLE. TEACHER. who stopped by to say hello during pre-planning exclaimed, "WOW! How did YOU get new tables?!?" When I told them about the dry erase surface, their envy grew. Even the custodians, who were justifiably concerned about their newly waxed floors, were pumped. The white certainly brightens up my window-less lab.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I read that the PINK EXPO markers leave a stain, and although my test pink did not, I am going to pull the pink markers and not use them. I am disappointed that the Cra-Z-Art markers I found on clearance left such a residue. I'm not going to be using these with kids. I'll see how they do on my normal teacher whiteboard, and if they stain there, I'll give them away. Wah. Wah.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">From the <a href="http://sproutclassrooms.com/classroom-diy-whiteboard-tables/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">blog post by Sprout Classroom</span></a>, I calculated 4 boxes of Rust Oleum Dry Erase Paint for 12 tables (that are approximately 3' x 6'). I only ended up using 3 of the kits, even with 3 coats. We will be using the tables regularly and I'll see if we need to add a coating of dry-erase over the Labor Day long weekend. If not, maybe Christmas break will see a reapply, or maybe right before the end of the school year. (I didn't like using my back to school planning time for this project).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last, but certainly not least, I tend to be an "ask for forgiveness" person. However, in this case, I definitely asked for permission. My principal had to get the go ahead from the county level to "alter school property" so I'm glad I didn't just wing it. If you'd like a copy of the email, I used Genius Hour Projects as my driving factor, please request it in the comments.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's official, I got my back to school letter from my principal yesterday. And wouldn't you know, I had my mind prepped for reporting on Wednesday, only to find that the first day of pre-planning is actually Tuesday! Doh!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last year I started off with students personalizing a Fakebook page I found for <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fakebook-Create-Your-Own-Facebook-Profile-530413" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">FREE on Teachers pay Teachers.</a> I found, though, that my high school students were much LESS into Facebook than my middle schoolers had been. This was kind of a flop for me. (I *am* still thinking about using it as a product choice as we learn about different scientists. I'm thinking I will have a bulletin board of profiles that students create. What would be REALLY cool, would be to have a "News Feed" along side of it, using emoji post-it notes and hashtags.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year, I want to start off the year with a Growth Mindset theme. I was contemplating all these cool bulletin boards and posters that I could buy or make. But what better way to get buy-in than to have my classes make them? </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The project I'm most excited for this year is my Wonder Wall/ Innovation Space. I want to have stations where groups can collaborate and brainstorm - whiteboards, rolls of brown kraft paper, chalkboards - and present. I'm floating an idea past my principal to paint my tables in the lab with chalkboard and/or dry erase paint. (If that doesn't work, I'll just cover with paper like at Maggiano's).</span></div>

Yup.<br />
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Two weeks from Wednesday, teachers in my district report back to school. I'm excited to do my to school shopping. (Who am I kidding, I loaded up on school supplies before the Walmart displays were totally stocked. And I found some killer rebate deals on copy paper at Staples a couple of weeks ago.). I'm eager to catch up with my friends: colleagues and students. I like the routine of the days and surprise of the unpredictable moments. I'm rested and ready.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am in a different place, mentally, this summer. For the first time, I took the month of July off. I didn't plan. I didn't professionally develop, I didn't even read a motivational book. Instead, I did my professional development and Chemistry certification test in June. I studied eight hours a day for weeks getting ready. Then I took my exam and turned off my "school brain." We took a road trip to the mountains. I read Judy Blume and watched two seasons of Glee. I relaxed on the couch and pinned sunsets and nothing related to education (lie, but very few...).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2251615625568627942" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></a></div>
At first, I felt guilty. But then I realized that for these three weeks, I'm actually getting the mental vacation I have earned through the school year. I have finally figured out what my administrators have been encouraging: rest and relaxation. Rejuvenation. Respite. And in two more weeks, I'm going to be ready to return.<br />
<br />
I am looking forward I the year. I'm excited to figure out how to fit I the engineering themed Genius Hour projects using <a href="https://www.makewonder.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dash & Dot</a>, <a href="https://code.org/educate/curriculum/middle-school" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CODE.org</a>, <a href="http://ed.ted.com/lessons?category=science-technology" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TED Talks</a>, and <a href="https://m.youtube.com/user/crashcourse" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CrashCourse</a>. I'm ready to take another try at classroom management, high school edition. I've got some (unfleshed) ideas about procedures to implement. I'm going to enjoy these next two weeks off and then I'm going to jump right in.<br />

<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">THIS IS HOW VACATION IS SUPPOSED TO FEEL!</span></h2>
<br />
What did you do over summer break? Did you rest? Did you pretend to rest while you really worked? Are you feeling refreshed and ready to return?</div>

They log in using the game pin generated by your account, and then are prompted for their nickname. (Why couldn't Kahoot just ask for first name, last initial? I hate nickname, because inevitably, no matter how many times I say, "I don't want your nickname."

Just like trivia at your favorite wing place, you get the most points by answering quickly and correctly. The kids just get 4 colored blocks in their screens, and they match their answer choice to the associated block. There is the option to play some stress inducing music during the questions, and each question defaults to 20 seconds to answer. Once all the devices have answered (don't mess up, you can't change your answer), or the time expires, the correct answer is left on the screen. Then the leaderboard shows up. My kids were so excited to see their names on the board, and even more excited to bump the leader off the top spot.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My students were 100% engaged. (It would have been a FANTASTIC time for an administrator to do a walk through...). Even the students that seemed like they'd be too cool, were into it.

I let those without smartphones team up with a partner, the collaboration and discussion was awesome to watch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">During my fourth block class all my freshmen were called out for their grade level assembly. The few upperclassmen that were left got to take their quiz on Kahoot.

Someone even whined that they should have skipped the boring assembly to take the quiz instead. (So surreal!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I loved it.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow is the first day of school, and I'm more excited than usual. I'm starting at a new school, in a new grade (high school!), and its all very... new.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been researching and planning all summer, getting ready to make the transition from 8th grade to 9th grade. I've spent many days in the school supply aisle drooling over the best gel pens and mechanical pencils with refillable erasers. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I've spent the last week working in my classroom, making copies, planning lessons, and learning how to work my new interactive whiteboard. I submitted my lesson plans a week early. I set up my grade book, printed my class lists, and laminated my salvaged DNA borders (who would toss such amazing things?!?).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I'm READY. Let's just get this show on the road already!</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid2Gwr1W8JZ66vvUPv_OpbxY0ca0-cZBSydC2WGjOhQMmCJVzlc1yzBVtpsHCWpMRD29BA2J8lLznCcBHYgLReCquHofYaXmLyy6PLMFbOUggUjahIQ2P8ZLAcTYxBO8WNkC-ARZtpnza1/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid2Gwr1W8JZ66vvUPv_OpbxY0ca0-cZBSydC2WGjOhQMmCJVzlc1yzBVtpsHCWpMRD29BA2J8lLznCcBHYgLReCquHofYaXmLyy6PLMFbOUggUjahIQ2P8ZLAcTYxBO8WNkC-ARZtpnza1/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm sure the day won't go perfectly. First <strike>days</strike> weeks never do; they don't go exactly as planned. Somewhere between "Characteristics of Living Things" and the Heartbeat Lab, I'm sure there will be grade level assemblies that take up half a day, and possibly an unplanned fire drill as the first hooligan establishes their place in the high school ecosystem.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But, I'm SO ready! I'm excited to meet my kids, to get to put on my show, to start empowering and exciting a new group. </span><span style="font-size: large;">And I'm so lucky because I get to start the year celebrating. I know this is going to be an exceptional school year!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In a different school year, I had more time for the kids to cut and be creative, so I had them make this "foldable".

<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the thought bubbles, students </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">record words or
phrases that about </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">the unit / topic that are
confusing. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: 0.25in;">(NO SENTENCES!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Once the confusing points have
been identified, think about how to make those </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">topics into specific questions.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Write these questions in the
CLARIFYING QUESTIONS area.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Students should have AT LEAST
one question per thought bubble / </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">confusion point.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Each student identifies the
question (or two) that makes him/her most </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">uncomfortable or confused.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">I like to say, “Which of these
topics would most make you sick if I were </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">to ask you to explain it right now.”</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Circle, highlight, or star the
question(s) that make the student most </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">uncomfortable.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">TEACHER: Record the uncomfortable
topic from each student, and pair </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">students with similar points of confusion.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Allow each pair to use a
research device (computer, tablet, textbook, etc.) </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">to find the answers to the
specific questions.</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Start with the MOST
UNCOMFORTABLE questions first.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">DO NOT DIVIDE AND CONQUER!
(Both partners must work together, do </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">not work alone.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Research and record information
/ notes / pictures in the student </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">notebook.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Research ALL of the questions
written by both partners in the pair.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Discuss amongst partners to be
sure each partner understands </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">completely.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">AFTER all of the research has
been recorded:</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Summarize the information.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Completely answer on the ANSWERS
TO CLARIFYING QUESTIONS page</span><span style="font-family: HelloBasic; font-size: 20pt;">.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm totally LOVING this new planner! As it says in the graphic, usually I end up making my own because I NEED a tabbed monthly calendar, a weekly glance, and enough room in the days to write all my plans and ideas. I ran into this beauty on the end cap of the office supply aisle at Target. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There were many styles and sizes to choose from, all a little different with just months, bigger days, smaller weeks, full-size desk and hanging calendars, etc. But this particular one is perfect for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love the "Today's Top Three" in the weekly view, and the "Tonight" box at the bottom of each day is perfect for dinner planning. But the very best part, in my opinion, are the check boxes! I love checklists. I love checking things off of check lists! I confess, sometimes I put really easy things on my checklist, like brush teeth, take shower, just so that I know I will get to check something off. (And because its summer, so its a good reminder not to stay in my pajamas/bathing suit all day.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">"Sure, You Can Move in on Monday." - Ms. Alice, head custodian</span></h4>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't have any pictures from yesterday, I was too frazzled to think to take any. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was SUPER excited to load up my car on Sunday night and *<i>finally* </i> get my school stuff out of my garage to take it to my new school. I carefully organized the plastic storage bins, plastic drawers, milk crates and boxes of <i>really important stuff that MUST go with me to my new school</i> and it all fit in ONE trip!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's July, in Florida, I didn't want to be moving boxes from my car to the disjointed classroom building a quarter mile away, in the dead heat of midday. So, I showed up at school at 7am. (With breakfast for the custodians, because <i>everybody knows</i> that you need to first win over the custodians and the front office staff when you start a new job.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ms. Alice greeted me with a welcoming shout from the flower bed she and her staff were pruning. She sent Ms. Edna to get me a flatbed cart, and the three of us unloaded my car and walked to building seven, where my classroom is.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We got in, turned on the light, and lo and behold, it is not empty. It is not close to empty. There are some stacks of books and a mini fridge on the back counter. All the bookshelves have shells, and books, and games, and more shells... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was too excited to just put my stuff back in my car, so I piled it on the middle student tables and waited. I found another teacher, who in her words, "runs our hall". She said the teacher planned to be in today to move... but she didn't know what time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I felt really awkward. I didn't want to box up her stuff, because frankly, I wouldn't want anyone going through my stuff... and I didn't want her to get mad at me for pushing her out... but, well, I want my garage back!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I waited around for an hour, trying to imagine room configurations. Eventually I left. I have training today and tomorrow, so on Thursday I'll go back. Hopefully all my stuff is still there and all of her stuff has been moved out. We'll see.</span><br />

I used this little 2-page number last year in the front of our interactive notebooks. When I used it last year, I basically did a micro-lesson (not even a mini-lesson) on SMART goals and study skills. Next time I do it, I'll use it as part of a "flipped" lesson that includes some cool infographics on technology tools, various study strategies, and goal setting. (Here I go making "flipped" plans when I said I wasn't going to make that my 1st quarter technology goal... well, it can be a supplement, right?)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This post by <a href="http://learninginhand.com/blog/show-what-you-know-using-web-mobile-apps-infographic.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Learning in Hand by Tony Vincent</a>, would be my "go to" for tech tools. I'd explain each of these generally and let the kids explore them individually. It covers the web and mobile apps for the following product types (*<i>don't forget to differentiate the product*</i>): audio recordings, collages, comics, posters, slide shows, digital books, narrated slide shows, movies, animations, screencasts, study aids, and other useful sites.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I think I'll be able to assign choices in my technology station (I'm really hoping I can get funding for 5 Chromebooks and 5 iPad Minis, have you checked out <a href="http://donorschoose.org/">DonorsChoose.org</a> lately?) And I hear that we are a Google Classroom school district, so as I learn how that works I can have the digital media submitted, graded, and returned all without paper rubrics! Wahoo!</span><br />

On one of my adventures as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ghana, I found myself in the capital of Accra. I wandered around Kwame Nkrumah Circle (<a href="http://marcwoons.com/tag/kwame-nkrumah/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">in tro-tro speak that would be the “Circ-Circ-Circ!" stop</a>) toward the central bank. As you walk from the station on Ring Road, the book store (the name of which I can't remember) is on the left-hand side. The front is unassuming, but its a two story, air-conditioned (this is a big deal!) store with familiar organization and classroom supplies that make me wonder if the owners are foreign or have lived internationally. This book leapt of the shelf at me, and I used it with my <i>tutoring </i> students. I used the money their parents' tried to pay me to purchase books for them to use in the future. I gave them each a copy of this one, and a random college level biology text. It's a great book for high school aged students. It's funny, it's straightforward, it's written in a conversational tone, and it has fantastic, simple steps to optimize retention <i>and </i> learning. I liked the pictures of the brain studying so much that I made a bulletin board in front of the headmaster's office of the brain with the retention graph. Here's an example lifted from Amazon's preview.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe this will be the year that I <i>finally</i> buy a half-class set and offer a study skills tutoring session before school. Or maybe I'll have an online book club and we can use this as our first book. Have any of you ever tried something like this? How has it worked?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last, but not least, I would include a breakdown of SMART goal setting, reinforcing small goals that build up over time to a larger goal. I would have the kids set specific due dates in their planners, and make sure to schedule conferences at those times (i.e. the week before interims).</span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I stumbled upon CrashCourse last year during my summer planning. I had a grand plan to "flip" my classroom and needed videos for my kids to watch. (While I haven't <i>totally</i> given up on "flipping", but I didn't do it <strike>right</strike> enough, and my middle school students didn't have the technology tools / parent support, so the excuses got to me and I went back to a format I'm more comfortable with. Will I try it again? Yes. Will I make it my 1st nine weeks technology goal? No.)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyways, if you teach high school or collegiate courses (and perhaps <u style="font-style: italic;">late</u> middle school - read more to see why), you should definitely WATCH this channel (and maybe even use it in class)! John & Hank Green teach a plethora of courses through 9-12 minute videos that are numbered in each course topic and sorted into playlists ways that make a LOT of sense. Currently their channel includes these playlists:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I say <u style="font-style: italic;">late middle school</u> because they do tend to be VERY sarcastic, occasionally drop in an H-E-double hockey sticks, and use sex as an attention grabber. There is nothing graphic, I mean, calling a Carbon atom a sexy minx doesn't not make me fear for my public education job. However, (as with EVERY VIDEO YOU PLAN TO SHOW IN CLASS), definitely preview the video so that you feel comfortable in case you have an administrator or peer evaluator pop in unannounced for your "walk-through" evaluation during the middle of the showing.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started off last school year with a "flipped" homework assignment of watching this lab safety video. (It is already linked to my Week 1 Agenda on Student Space.) This is <i>by far</i> the most entertaining lab safety video I've ever watched, and the kids loved the ending. (They wanted me to recreate the ending in class, I said no.) But I did have them do a Lab Safety One Pager in their Interactive Notebooks as a response, and many drew lab showers, imagine that. (I'll be posting about Interactive Notebooks and One Pagers in the coming days.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm currently watching all of the Biology course, since I'll be teaching Biology this year. I'm liking the idea of assigning these for homework, using them as a reteach method, maybe as whole class instruction with discussion following, or as part of my technology station... there is a LOT I can do with it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I think that if I <i>DO</i> assign them for homework, I will imbed the video into a post like this... the comments can get a little racy on YouTube. Now I know that I can't shield my kids from everything, but, I don't really want to assign them to sit in front of uncensored comments. That would be irresponsible.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Brush up, learn something new, use it as another vehicle of learning, what will you do with CrashCourse this school year? Leave a note in the comments.</span></div>

<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided that since I'll be a "first year teacher" again this year, I want to find as much as possible that I can use as-is. Of course, I'll change it and make it fit me and my teaching style, but I really don't want to start from scratch. (I especially do not want to create content for a 90 minute block, semester length class with a state EOC as a graduation requirement!)</span><br />
