      <description><![CDATA[I've always had a special place in my heart for high-energy students.  I admire their enthusiasm and how they always seem to show up to class ready to bring it.  Monday morning, rain or shine, while I'm waiting for my caffeine buzz to kick in from the Coke Zero I just guzzled, these guys come flying around the corner and bouncing down the hallway towards me with a toothy smile.  I sometimes think, "I'll have what he's having."]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I LOVE my class this year. Diverse. Capable. Sweet. Unique. Enthusiastic. Energetic. Hard-working. Funny. Lovable. These are some of the words that come to mind when I think of my first graders. But one more word that also comes to mind is...chatty. Very chatty. We are a 'work in progress' with this. And thank goodness, we are continuing to improve each week. :-) Now, don't get me wrong, I believe a classroom should be FULL of rich, collaborative dialogue. Student discussion is vital, and our little guys need frequent opportunities to engage with peers and share their thoughts. I pride myself on having a dynamic, student-centered classroom that encourages this. To foster this kind of a climate, however, students also need to learn how to be effective listeners and independent workers. There are appropriate and inappropriate times for talking, and to get students to adhere to these boundaries, clear expectations must be set. Here are 12 ideas/strategies to try when working with a chatty class.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dollar Tree is a thrifty teacher's best friend. I personally can't exit that place without a cart full of teaching supplies, organizational materials, classroom decor, readers' theater props/costume items, or prizes for my class shop. It's my go-to place when I'm in need of some retail therapy after a hard day's work. Sure, I'd LOVE to hit up J.Crew or Banana Republic, but Dollar Tree won't break the bank and it's always fun to do a little classroom revamping. Check out these 20 products along with ideas for cool classroom uses.]]></description>

There's nothing quite like being greeted by the sweet signs of spring after a dull and dreary winter. I wanted to be out there, free from the confines of my classroom walls. I knew I wasn't alone in this sentiment. My kids were right there with me. Can you blame us?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Let’s face it. Teaching is tough! Aside from being on your feet all day juggling the social, emotional, and academic needs of 20 or so little ones, you are also dealing with endless stacks of paperwork (that often come home with you), increasing city-wide and state pressures, a new and hopefully improved curriculum, after-school activities, professional development courses, observations/evaluations, and parent-teacher communications, all while earning a less than stellar salary that a good portion of the public believes is fair. Whew, I just stressed myself out!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Brain breaks have been all the rage for quite some time now. We've learned that regularly incorporating short movement activities into the instructional day not only allows children to get their 'wiggles' out, but energizes them and increases their ability to focus on the next learning activity as well. Let's utilize the technology we have to give the kids a healthy dose of pop culture and silliness all mixed into one. So, smack up one of these short clips on your SMART Board or Promethean Board and get to steppin'! These videos are sure to get your students (and maybe even you) moving and grooving!]]></description>
