Have you ever wondered if your students are engaged in their learning? I have often wondered this and wondered how I could measure it. So, some colleagues and I have come up with what is called the "ENGAGEMENT WHEEL." It is a way to reflect on an hour of your day that you have taught and try to give it an ENGAGEMENT score. The higher the score the more engaged your class was. The engagement wheel measures what your students are doing. The engagement wheel score is most accurate when looking at the same class repeatedly over a number of days. This will insure the score's validity. I have an example for you. Tuesday during 4th period I received a score of 5. I filled in the categories that were true for that hour. I would take samples from a few days in a row to determine where I stand. Also, from this activity it will become obvious which pie slices you are not doing regularly.

Above sculpture by Rieke van der Stoep - ' Crosswind ' I noticed while sourcing images for my post ' Figurines Of Intrigue ' that the figurines of the female form were in predominance, so I decided to dedicate a post purely on this theme. Most of the female ceramic figurines seem to be created by women whereas the sculptural female art forms have a more equal representation between male and female artists. On display are female art figures that capture a timeless elegance and compelling level of feminine mystique. … I saw the angel in the marble

Have you ever had a class with so many difficult, disruptive students that you felt that you could barely even teach? What can you do to get past it? In this post, I am going to address this problem with my best advice, and some advice from others as well.
I didn't have a very hands-on family when I was growing up, so I really enjoyed taking a Home-Ec class when I was in highschool. I learned a few things that I still use today, but I wish I would've had more hands on training in home life skills.
10 Tips for Increasing Self Esteem - Review the following list of tips for increasing self esteem and discuss these as a group: 1. Nullify Negative Thoughts – If you catch yourself putting yourself down in your own head (Like “I’m so stupid” or “I’m never going to make it”), practice breaking that negative habit. Do whatever you can to distract yourself and think of something else. If possible, do the next one below instead (Think positive) 2. Practice Positive Self Talk – There is a reason for reviewing these affirmations from the previous exercise and that is because affirmations work. Practicing saying a few positive things each day can lead you to starting to believe these positive thoughts. Learn to be your own cheerleader 3. Learn When Not to Care – It is nice to be a caring person and there are times when it is important to care about what others think as image can be important. However, people with higher self-esteem usually are skilled at knowing when to ignore the haters, drown out the drama and lose the losers. 4. Don’t “Catch” Other People’s Negativity – Negative thoughts and vibes are often contagious, and some negative people are skilled at spreading the disease of negativity through gossip, slander, insults. Other people can be sarcastic and discouraging and can pull you down with their words gradually over time. It is often best to avoid spending too much time with anyone like this if you want to build yourself up 5. Gravitate Toward Encouragement and Support – Even just one supportive and encouraging person who sincerely cares and wants to see you succeed can be such a boost to your self-esteem. 6. Keep Your Mistakes in Perspective – Mistakes are bound to happen, but some people have a harder time getting back up after a fall than others. Self esteem building is all about looking at the big picture and accepting the fact that things are going to go wrong from time to time but that does not mean you are not going to eventually succeed in your goals 7. Goals are Golden – Speaking of goals, having short term goals every day and long-term goals to keep focused are essential aspects of self-esteem. If positive self-esteem is a tower, then individual goals are like the bricks that the tower of self esteem is built with. Each goal achieved is a self esteem boost no matter how small 8. Get Outside Your Comfort Zone – Speaking of goals, one goal should be to take some healthy risks to push yourself to move in positive directions. Yes, there may be some anxiety and discomfort when venturing outside the comfort zone but going past the boundaries is the only way to expand your world and grow in your experiences which can really boost self esteem 9. Sense of Humor – It can be so empowering to be able to laugh at life and to know when not to take yourself too seriously. People with self esteem often know when and how to just let themselves be human and to be able to use humor to de-stress and to let go of some of the small stuff that can weigh you down 10. Accept Imperfection – There are times when practicing and striving to get things just right can be very rewarding and some people have had great success perfecting a skill or a craft. However, in general, to ALWAYS strive for perfection can be a lesson in frustration. Expecting “straight A’s” in all facets of life can be very damaging to self-esteem because we all fail from time to time and that’s okay. Group Questions: As a group discuss: What are some of your areas where you are already making progress and growth? Which areas can you focus on more for self-improvement? What are one or two specific things you can start working on right now to boost your self-esteem? CLICK HERE FOR PRINTABLE VERSION WITH MORE - SELF ESTEEM ICE-BREAKER www.takingtheescalator.com

Not too long ago I started seeing out there in blog world voice level signs. I pinned this one on Pinterest. It comes from http://mrsparkerssecondgrade.blogspot.com/. I decided though it was close to what I want for my classroom that it would be really cool to use the same scrapbook paper that I had used for my clip chart. See here. I think mine turned out really cute. I just wish I had thought to include pictures before I started. Most of my kids would be able to read it by the end of the year. But at the beginning? Not so much! Oh well … repetition, repetition, repetition. We’ll see how it goes without the pictures and then maybe I’ll fix it up again for next year. But for now it looks oh so cute. I used the same scrapbook paper as I did before from Hobby Lobby and used spray adhesive to glue them to a poster board. I then cut out the boxes with words that I created using Microsoft Word. I glued those as well as the numbered circles in place, laminated, & cut. And voila! If you would like a copy of the already made boxes and numbers post a comment and I’ll send them your way. I’ve also been thinking a lot about how I want to do book boxes for our Read to Self time during Daily 5 this year. In previous years I’ve used magazine file boxes but this year I repurposed those boxes into containers for my classroom library. You can see in this picture that groupings of books that I have a lot are kept in larger bins while groupings of books that I don’t have so much of are kept in magazine file boxes placed on their sides. This works well to manage lots of groups of books when they don’t take up the space of a whole bin. Anyhow … all that to say I’m not using the magazine file boxes any longer for book boxes. They also took up a lot of space in kids’ cubbies. this year I will be giving my kids book bags to use. They can hang this on their cubbies along with their backpacks or place the bags up above in their cubbies if they need to. In order to make this book bag I first found a picture to use. I bought the picture of the frog from scrappindoodles. I then copied the picture into the paint program on my computer. (I don’t have any fancy programs on my computer.) Using paint I made a mirror image of the little froggy reading and then pasted it back into Word. I used word Art for the words and used the paint program again to make the mirror image. I was able to fit 3 of these to a page and then printed them out on Iron on Transfer paper. After printing these out I just trimmed around the picture and word art and then ironed them on the bags. Nothing to it. If anyone has any better ideas on how to reverse image words or pictures please let me know. I feel like there should be something easier but I just don’t know what it is.
