Die neue Reihe der Autorin des Bestsellers DUNBRIDGE ACADEMY Nicht nur am Set des Blockbusters Infinity Falling fliegen zwischen Holly Triano und Ruben Belton die Fetzen. Auch bei allen anderen Anlässen, zu denen die Manager ihre Schützlinge Aven Amenta und Hayes Chamberlain begleiten, kriegen sie sich in die Haare. Schliesslich sind sie erbitterte Rivalen in einer Welt, in der man nichts geschenkt bekommt. Davon kann Holly als junge Inhaberin einer Agentur in einer männerdominierten Branche ein Lied singen - anders als Ruben, Sohn eines einflussreichen Medienunternehmers, dem allein sein Nachname alle Türen in der Branche geöffnet hat. Doch zwischen Dreharbeiten, Events und Networking merken die beiden bald, dass sie gar nicht so verschieden sind wie gedacht. Aber als Konkurrenten ist eine Beziehung zwischen ihnen undenkbar - oder? Willkommen am Set von INFINITY FALLING ! Band 2 der neuen Serie von SPIEGEL -Bestseller-Autorin Sarah Sprinz Dieses Buch gibt es in zwei Versionen: mit und ohne Farbschnitt. Sobald die Farbschnitt-Ausgabe ausverkauft ist, liefern wir die Ausgabe ohne Farbschnitt aus.
I don't know about you, but one of the reasons I wanted to become a teacher is because I find the "aha" moment (also known as the "lightbulb" moment) so exhilarating. I love it when a student finally understands something he has found difficult in the past. I feel a rush seeing the delight on a child's face when she masters a topic in class. Oh, the triumph! But some students, and you know you've had a few, are so beaten down by past failures that the "I can't" attitude is difficult to break through. In college, I remember learning about the growth mindset vs. the fixed mindset. If someone has a fixed mindset, she believes that some people are smart and some are not. Period. (Oftentimes, this person also feels that she is not smart.) If a person has a growth mindset, she believes that people can improve and get better at things. (Thus, she can improve and get better at things.) There's a chart floating around the interwebs (I've seen it pop up on both Pinterest and Twitter.) It's a way to move kids from a fixed mindset into a growth mindset way of thinkin'. I love this! I love it so much that I made a copy to put in my classroom. But then I stepped back and thought a little more about doing that. Here was my inner dialogue: What if this just becomes visual clutter? Well, I'll go over it the first few days of school. That will be nice. But what if they don't listen to you? Well, they are going to be precious little angels and hang on every word I say. They won't be so rude to ignore me! Okay, but what if they are just pretending to listen, but it doesn't really sink in? Well, then... I will just... Um... You see... I'll... I'm quite used to having two sides of my brain debating and having an inner dialogue. Does this only happen to me? I digress... So, I didn't want this to just be visual clutter. I want this to make an impact. So, in order to do that, I want the students to get more involved in this chart. I typed it up in a sweet little document like this. I want to spend some time - on one of the first days of school - to go over this. I want the kids to know the difference between fixed and growth mindset. I want the students to know that after I failed the "gifted test" twice in 5th grade, I found myself STUCK in the fixed mindset. Those kids were smart. Obviously, I was not. Add in the fact that I really struggled with math in middle school and high school, and I was convinced I was no longer part of the "smart kids club." Then, in college, I started to move over toward a growth mindset. With unbelievably hard work, I went from being a failing math student to making a 99 average in statistics and a 101 average in an environmental logarithms class. WHAT ON EARTH? I found out that it was true. It IS possible to get better at things. If I can become smart at math, then by gosh, anybody could! The growth mindset is for real, y'all. So I want the kids to recognize the things they think and say. Those things are in the left column. I want them to brainstorm with partners or in small groups how they could CHANGE THEIR THINKING into a growth mindset point of view! If they work on putting together a growth mindset list of things they could say instead of that "stinkin' thinkin'" - well, they might be more likely to use those phrases. Later in the year, if I hear someone say, "I can't do this math problem," or "I can't understand this book," then I can gently say, "Hey, love, why don't you turn this into a growth mindset phrase? What can you say instead?" I'm hoping that having a REAL dialogue about this with the kids - and letting them discuss it with each other - will make this an idea that lasts all year. Have you seen this chart floating around? Do you teach your kids how to think in a growth mindset frame of mind? Tell us what you do! (Oh, and if you want a free copy of this chart for your students to use in your classroom, you can download it here.)
My students were invited to create a large piece of art for the front window of our local art store called The Artery. The Mona Lisa seemed appropriate, so we made her using the following steps. 1. I divided a 8x10" drawing of Mona Lisa into 24 rectangles and gave each student one of the small rectangles. 2. The students drew a 4x4 grid onto their small rectangle piece of the Mona Lisa drawing, and a 4x4 grid onto their white 9x12" construction paper. 3. By using the grid method, the students drew their piece of the Mona Lisa onto their 9x12" paper, then traced drawing with black marker, erased grid lines, and colored shaped with colored pencils. 4. For interest, students were told to make their drawings "mostly" warm or cool colors. Each student was given a small rectangle piece after the drawing below was cut into 24 rectangles. Then the student drew a small 4x4 grid on his/her piece. Then drew a 4x4 grid on 9x12" paper. Then enlarged their original piece by drawing on the grid. And colored. She looked like this before pieces were mounted on black background and hung in the window. Soon..........I'll go stand out in the rain and get a picture of the final installation, hopefully. (No idea why I didn't take a pic of it after we hung it up in the window?)

My teacher tip for you today is hopefully going to give you a few more ways to use something simple in your classroom and solve a problem you didn't know you had. Over the years I have found that I kinda LOVE binder rings (among other random classroom supplies). I've found so many different uses for binder rings in my classroom that they are now a MUST HAVE item for me. So here are 10 different ways you can use them in your classroom. Some you may already do, but maybe you will find another way to use them. We'll start out simple, and a little obvious. 1. Key Rings Use it to hang your recess whistle on a lanyard or a quick and easy (no pinching finger) way to add keys. Those other ones can cause serious injury! 2. Bind Classroom Books 3. Attach labels to bins or directions to center bins 4. Keep washi tape organized (I just really love washi tape so I was trying to find a way to incorporate it :) 5. Hold flash cards or task cards together 6. Attach those flash cards to a student's chair or desk 7. Hanging up Beanie Babies for a reading strategy wall 8. Holding a clip chart together 9. Attach pocket charts or chart paper to an easel When I moved into a different school in my district this year I was left with a lot of old items that no one else had wanted. One of those things was my easel. I really wanted an easel so I would take what I could get; however, this easel had a white board, but did not have a place to hold chart paper. I also wasn't given a pocket chart stand, so I had to make do with what I had. Here is how I fixed that problem. 10. Hang pocket charts or chart paper on command hooks Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my teacher tip. If you enjoyed these ideas, please consider following my blog on Bloglovin' over on the side or following me on Facebook or Instagram. Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you'll come back soon :)

Recently, our hallway brain board got a bit of a facelift. We went from this.... to this... I have to admit, I was a bit sad to take down the fixed and growth mindset self-talk. We referred to them often with a lot of students. They were really powerful. But, alas, we must move on. Crystal asked her students to draw what is inside their brain. She didn't give them too many requirements. Some chose to have their page oriented landscape, though most chose portrait. Some chose to use one colour, while others had many. If you know her children, they are actually very accurate and quite insightful! At our school, we teach the Zones of Regulation school wide. Being that my students are in fourth grade, they have a fairly good understanding of the four Zones already. To refresh their memories, we read the book "The Way I Feel." Everyone folded a paper into 8 spaces. The book showcases 13 emotions, so we had more than enough room to work with the front and back combined. I read each emotion, but I didn't reveal the actual emotion. My students had to guess. Once they had guessed correctly, I projected the emotion on the SmartBoard with a corresponding Zones images. This really helped a few of my low students with spelling. Their job was to write the emotion and guess the Zone that emotion belongs in. At the end of the book, we discussed each one. Next, I assigned students a Zone. They met with the other students of the same Zone to discuss all the emotions that would belong there. They then returned to their desks where a poster was waiting for them. The task was to write in their assigned Zone and fill in the face with an expression that properly represented the Zone. Around the edges, they had to write a variety of emotions for the Zone. I'm not thrilled with these photos. I really need to bring my proper camera to school. The iPhone just isn't cutting it. I hope that these posters will be helpful to others as they pass by! I know I've referred to them a few times. Do you use the Zones of Regulation in your classroom or school?
