Labeling is now a passion of mine, although that may be odd!<br />

Grab these bathroom posters by clicking {<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Bathroom-Signs-and-Hall-Passes-3990580">here</a>}or the picture above.<br />
<br />
Then I updated my reward system chart and prize coupons for the new teacher on my team. I wanted her to have everything ready to print so she can implement successful classroom management techniques in her classroom. I use ClassDojo and it is fabulous!<br />
<br />
Check out these <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Behavior-Reward-Passes-4690303">PBS behavior coupons</a> and the template used to separate the rewards. I included a blank template as well, in case you want to add your own rewards.<br />

If you're a teacher, like me, you know the feeling that occurs when you are finishing summer break and heading back to school for pre-planning week? Well, instead of feeling stressed or overwhelmed, I was inspired! I wanted to have extra resources that worked well for my students last year to prepare for the ELA standards.<br />
<br />
So here's to my exciting news: I added some of my teacher activities! I just finished creating a 4th set of my FSA Language & Editing Tasks. Then another teacher asked me if I had a bundle. A bundle? How perfect! So I had to do it. Yay for getting things done before the craziness begins! I'm glad other teachers find these products helpful with their students. I can't wait to see what this year holds!<br />

<h2>
I'm so proud to be your team leader! </h2>
<div>
Our new team is such a great fit! I'm happy to have a new teammate this year. I am ready to push my Cambridge students to their highest potential. Chuck - our school is incredibly lucky to have you and I know our students are enjoying both of our shenanigans. Thanks for being a great co-teacher and getting them excited for math. Val is sporting the pink hat and Whit is always fashionable (are you checking out those rain boots?!) Those girls are such a great inspiration and will always keep a smile on my face. Love you guys!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are the #superfive and we will be ready to take our students to the next level. I can't wait to see how far our students go! Visit our school's <a href="https://twitter.com/sleseahawks" target="_blank">Twitter Page </a>and hit the "FOLLOW" button. Our teachers have more passion than any other school and we share innovative instructional practices. Looking forward to an amazing year!</div>

Every classroom needs a touch of magic - when technology isn't working the way it should!</h2>
<div>
I have technology problems frequently in my classroom. Let's face it, things happen and we just have to roll with it. Either someone accidentally unplugs something at the student computers or something goes wrong unexpectedly. Whatever the case may be... when you are in the middle of teaching a lesson or at the guided reading table, it isn't easy to stop a go help another student at the computer. So, in the event of a computer malfunction just have them put up one of these signs and it lets other students know that computer is "temporarily" not working or out of order. Then it gives everyone something fun to look at and acts as a reminder to put in a work order at your convenience! I hope this brings a smile to your face and it makes life easier. </div>

Here are a couple of new products to get ready school to start! I wanted some new <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Meet-The-Teacher-Packet-3316067" target="_blank">Meet the Teacher</a> pages: sign-in sheet, how do you go home form, contact information, and conference sign-up. Even a display poster for them to see as they walk in the door.<br />
<br />
And, my school is having a superhero theme again this year... so I created a <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Superhero-Goals-Beginning-of-Year-Activity-3331669" target="_blank">Super Goal Activity</a> that allows my students to set goals for themselves and decorate their own superhero. I have included a bulletin board display poster to hang up with their creations. You can pick up these items at my TPT store - Passion For Teaching, just click on the links above or the images. Happy Teaching!<br />

Easy to follow steps for PC (Windows 10):</h2>
<div>
I was looking to put multiple files into one folder (it's easier to send in an email without going over the maximum GB limit)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Step 1</u>:</b> Open "File Explorer" and decide on the files, pictures, or folders you want to place in a <i>compressed zip folder.</i></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlYNYcl7UOKkPV78bdy1EdqqbZk1lykNLi7QHTWqr8awOFRfIMMkyrLwWPDIz-VHJrkJkfqcTdkvMmzldh0hsuP3jx-HKdaYGdMrjSOuCqGJ5sfZXZJpQOTmqeild-GI_tx99T_9A3VSM/s1600/file+explorer.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="30" data-original-width="38" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlYNYcl7UOKkPV78bdy1EdqqbZk1lykNLi7QHTWqr8awOFRfIMMkyrLwWPDIz-VHJrkJkfqcTdkvMmzldh0hsuP3jx-HKdaYGdMrjSOuCqGJ5sfZXZJpQOTmqeild-GI_tx99T_9A3VSM/s1600/file+explorer.PNG" /></a><u></u><br />
<div>
<u><u><br /></u></u></div>
<u>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<b>Step 2</b></u><b>:</b> While holding the "ctrl" control button, click on the files you want to group together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY39VmirSkdrFGBCnsT1qkVvpAtvAt4OsLj_wyoV3lhQ97lk4VXkEMefsrYGOeo3Ma3o9WURMaKJt5FXa-B8n9_HshcKljl9185yJ_w993j60ixgC9BHg7WloAaYUEZPGmR94uFM6jZp0/s1600/Capture1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="90" data-original-width="586" height="61" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY39VmirSkdrFGBCnsT1qkVvpAtvAt4OsLj_wyoV3lhQ97lk4VXkEMefsrYGOeo3Ma3o9WURMaKJt5FXa-B8n9_HshcKljl9185yJ_w993j60ixgC9BHg7WloAaYUEZPGmR94uFM6jZp0/s400/Capture1.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Step 3</u>:</b> (2 options) Right click on the selected files (image above) then hover over "Send to" and then find the "Compressed (zipped) folder" on the second pop up window. Then click it and continue to Step 4.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(*You may also do this same step another way if it's easier. Once you have your files selected from Step 2, find the Share tab at the top left corner of the toolbar click it and then click Zip.)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Step 4:</b></u> It will ask you to rename the folder. It uses the file you used to right click on but you can change it to any title you desire. Just type in the highlighted box and hit enter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you finish, double click and look inside to make sure you have selected the correct files inside your new compressed "zipped" folder. If you want to add more files, just click on them and simply drag them into your new folder! </div>

This was my first year teaching 5th grade (after teaching 4th grade for three years) and it was incredible. I loved every moment I spent with my amazing class. I knew over 90% of the entire grade level, being a 4th grade teacher the previous year. My students were very bright and we had such a unique and powerful bond. There were zero behavior problems and everyone got along. We could start with academics right away because they picked up the procedures so quickly. I even made the moving on ceremony <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1NOewKNX1w&list=PLtInoVkYSXzXePJcl-mOAeGRMbOzv8Axc&index=12" target="_blank">video </a>for the parents to view before the students walked in as 5th graders for the last time. I wish them all the best in their future classes but they will always hold a very special place in my heart. Miss you already! </span><br />

In Collier County we use this color-subject system and it really has helped, not only me stay organized, but my students too! Every year I decide to reorganize my files. But this year, I think I've finally figured out a system that is perfect. Now if I can just find the time to implement my new system! More to come with PICTURES!!! I'm so excited to share my secrets. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alert: Teachers... your students desperately need you! </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Usually towards the final weeks of Q2, you start to see some changes in your students. They have been listening and have made some steps closer to their end goal! Either it's the "Yes, they've finally got it! The light bulb has gone off! " or the "Oh dear, what is happening? How do they not remember this! We've done this so many times before! "... Regardless, WE need to keep moving forward. And, more importantly, help our students to recognize they can keep moving forward. Through any obstacle or challenge you might face, always be there for your students. I know we always say we can do this but do we already remember to keep them motivated or celebrate their successes? It happens. We can't possibly do it all. But pick something to focus on each day that can support celebrating success. Your students may have made some teensy bit of progress in a subject area and need some encouragement. Or possibly they have finally finished an assignment in class on time. Or have remembered to write on the correct side of the paper or put their name on their homework without a reminder. Cheer for them! Praise them! Give them your support! Recognize what they've accomplished, even it is something so small that it can oftentimes go unnoticed. Always try to find a few moments in your day to recognize student achievement, and I know it is packed full! It's important and you will find this helps your connection with those students. </span><br />

I will be creating custom categories for my products. These will be products for teacher use, printables for students, activities per subject and by grade level. Hope to keep adding to my collection. This is a busy year (being new to the fifth grade world, although it is an easier transition from fourth grade). My focus will be on literacy (both reading <u>and</u> writing) and maybe science as well! I love creating literacy centers and use them every day in my classroom. I have a custom template with my guided reading groups and the weekly rotation activities. I've used it for 4 years and always seem to find new ways to get the students excited about learning. (Fingers crossed I'll be able to upload the editable version soon!) Let me know in the comments below if you are in need of something for your classroom that you haven't already found elsewhere. I'd love to tackle some new projects</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my latest project: Updating my beach chairs under my umbrella for silent reading. And, adding the literacy VOICES and CRAFT strategies to my cabinets. It is acting like a bulletin board for my students to refer to throughout the day. I also am using the RACE reading response strategy with them. These 5th graders are incredible and have accomplished so much already!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As promised, I will be uploading pictures of my classroom. I am in love with certain bulletin boards, reading nooks, signs, décor, and other areas of my room! I hope to continue to find my groove and improve the set-up. This year is off to a great start. I'm remembering one key thing - prioritize! Remember what is MOST important to tackle first and then add the rest to a "to-do" list. It's so helpful and keeps me sane! :)</span><br />

This week is my pre-service week. It's the week before school starts for the students. Teachers are running around unpacking and setting up their classrooms, while going to meetings, putting in copies, and writing lesson plans in between. Tomorrow is meet the teacher and I wanted a new template that I could just fill in. I love that Pinterest is my go to teacher search engine. I found this beautiful <a href="http://www.atwhitsend.com/2013/08/jumping-in.html?showComment=1375715275260" target="_blank">FREE template</a> (credit: At Whit's End). <br />

I'm thrilled to have been a part of the HP movement. It really touches a part of me and I will always LOVE the HP adventures. I went to Barnes and Noble at midnight to purchase the new release: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts 1 & 2! </h3>

I also liked the Twilight series, but this transported me to the most imaginative place. It made me wish to my bones magic exists and that I could be a part of the wizarding world. In my heart, magic will always be whatever you believe in. I highly recommend this book, which is a screen play, for all Harry Potter fans or those who enjoy fantastic stories. My students, and future children, will hear about all the wonders and stories these books encompass. I hope to instill a love of imagination, or love of reading, to anyone who hasn't found it yet. It was truly wonderful to see a line wrapped around the entire second floor at Barnes and Noble. People of all ages from grandmas to grandchildren, and everyone in between. These books have made a huge difference in my creative thinking and excitement for fantasy. I hope the excitement NEVER ENDS...<br />

She has a neat <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BC8oaYeyXPo/?taken-by=miss5th" target="_blank">Keep the Quote</a> idea but I have modified it to fit my classroom.

This year my school is really trying to get teachers and parents involved in TWITTER. Posting pictures, videos, ideas etc. of what is going on in the classroom. I want to post pictures each week of my wise words! It will be a quote written by someone and then the students hand in to me. I will choose 1 quote to write out and for 5 days (Monday - Friday) they get to see who is demonstrating those wise words. We choose together who will get to keep the quote, while I post on twitter! Each week I will choose a quote from the students and write it. This process will repeat so it builds a positive classroom community, self-confidence, and a special bond between the students. My hope is to keep them motivated and inspired to learn each day!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>How I use #WISE WORDS in the classroom! </u></h3>
<ol>
<li>Tell your students to think of (or look up at home) a QUOTE that means something to them or gives a positive, motivating message.</li>
<li>Have them write it down on a slip of paper and place it in a quote jar, basket, etc... this way you have all the quotes you need for a few months. They can always put in more than one quote if they find a couple they love!</li>
<li>You (the teacher) will then select a quote to write in fancy lettering. Tell them that the student who exemplifies the quote or shows the quote the most during the week can keep the quote. They can actually get to take it home with pride.</li>
<li>Here's the part that can be time consuming; once you pick the quote, you have to actually WRITE or DRAW IT! Since I love different handwriting ideas and drawing, I will add my own artistic touches instead of just writing it in the handwriting the students see every day. This really excites them!</li>
<li>You could choose their quote on Friday's for the next week. So you have to write the quote on a piece of chart paper and then it's ready for the week ahead. Then on Friday, at the end of the week, the class votes on who is demonstrating those wise words! That student will take the quote.</li>
<li>You can do this so each student gets the opportunity to demonstrate the wise words. That way, every student can "keep the quote" and feel good about themselves! </li>
</ol>
See <a href="https://www.instagram.com/miss5th/" target="_blank">Miss 5th's Instagram</a> for how she does this. I was inspired by her keep the quote idea but changed it for my class to integrate the #hashtag for my school's Twitter kick and the name Wise Words because my classroom theme is OWLS! Get it, "wise" words! :) <br />
<br />
Since it is something brand new for my class, I will be choosing the first quote. That way, when the students arrive on Monday, the quote will be hanging up for them to see. Then I can introduce it by explaining how they get to keep the quote at the end of the week. I will also say why I chose that quote, so it means something to them. But the whole point is for the students to take ownership on what quotes are meaningful and touches their hearts. I can't wait to post more pictures once I set this up I my classroom! <br />

I'm so excited to have made a chalkboard (black and white) <strong>homework banner</strong> for my classroom! I decided I wanted a change...something completely different! Something, shockingly, NOT IN COLOR!<br />
<br />
I'm hoping this is helpful for you too! I can't wait until I get back from Spring Break so my students can see the new design on the bulletin board. <br />
<br />
I'm feeling inspired! :) <br />

<span style="color: blue;">I'm proud to be a teacher. There is so much hard work involved in the day to day routine. There are times I've had enough and I'm stressed out to the max. But there are also times, like while on a nice break, where I get inspired again. I can't believe how many resources, encouragement, creative ideas, etc. teachers are sharing these days. I've always thought of myself as an overachiever but I am NO WHERE NEAR as far along as some of the bloggers or TPT'ers I stumbled upon today. I'm doing this more for me but want to be able to help or inspire other teachers too! </span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">I'd love to reach so many people and constantly be writing on here (and my MANY other social media sites) about what I'm doing with my students and in my classroom, then posting pictures. It's truly incredible! I don't know why there aren't more hours in a day. If there were, I'd probably have time to do all the "extra teachery" things I aspire to do in the back of my mind. I may be just starting out here but I'd love to start sharing what I'm doing in my classroom. I pride myself on my organizational skills and how efficient my routines are. I'm constantly creating new things and using them with my class and other classes. For now, all of my resources will have to be released when I find the time (which is on my to-do list). Hopefully if I can make this my hobby when I get home, I'll feel more enthusiastic every day going to work instead of so-so or burnt out. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">*It is that time of year when things are starting to settle down a bit though because we're about to start the last quarter. At least that's how I'm now feeling. Yay for breaks! :)</span><br />
