These introvert memes are a loving nod to our inner hermit

Spend some time alone to get to know yourself. Then, when you meet the person who makes you cells dance, you'll be sure it, because you're sure of yourself.

He sings. He dances. He makes all the girls swoon. Fans all over the world sit on the edge of their seats waiting for the release of his newest video. He's all the rage and is stalked online by groupies of all ages. Justin? No, Dustin - Dustin Smith, that is. Also known as the Teacher Tipster, Mr. Smith is a favorite of teachers everywhere and he's an absolute genius. If you've watched his videos, you know that his love of teaching is genuine and he does an amazing job at combining learning and humor, while still showing a clear respect for his students. In a nutshell, watching him makes you want to become a better teacher, and using his tips helps you get there. If you haven't discovered him yet, check him out here. I've used a bunch of Mr. Smith's tips in my classroom, and I have a few more ready to go for the new year. If you've read my recent posts, you know that I plan to really focus on the teaching and reteaching of behavioral expectations in the beginning of the year. To help with this, I can't wait to use Dustin's lesson on teaching self-control using bubbles. First, he blows some bubbles and, as expected, the kids all pop them. Then, he challenges them to NOT pop the bubbles even if one lands on the tip of their nose. As he says, "Do they want to pop them? Yes- big time. But are they going to pop them? No way." This is such a great way to introduce the concept of self control and launch a discussion about stopping to think before you act. Dustin refers to it as a "bullet" in your year that you can refer back to again and again. "Think about that time when we didn't pop the bubbles..." Genius! Check it out - So, I bought myself a jumbo bottle of bubbles at my favorite place - the Dollar Tree - and made a cute little label to make it an official bottle of "Self Control Bubbles." I plan to do the mini-lesson during the first week of school and then have the bottle handy to use as needed throughout the year. I love the idea of having a concrete, visual cue to remind the kids of the concept of self-control. If you'd like to use the label to make your own official bottle, you can grab a copy down below the picture. (Just pick up a jumbo 32 oz. bottle of bubbles - Dollar Tree has still has piles of them!) You can grab the label here A big thanks to the Teacher Tipster for sharing his ideas, strategies and humor with teachers everywhere. You are truly an inspiration and greatly appreciated. Bieber's got nothing on you, Dustin! Have a great night, everyone!

Whether you're a beginner or a more advanced dancer, improvement is always possible. Becoming a better dancer requires dedication and a willingness to continuously challenge yourself. Frequent physical training is the most important part...

5 great Preschool Dance action songs Every Preschool Dance teacher needs a few preschool dance action songs up their sleeve. They make a nice way to unwind after lots of concentrating AND they are invaluable when things go wrong. That is one thing I’m sure of after years of teaching preschool dance – you just NEVER know when things are going to take a turn for the worst – usually when you least expect it!! Whether you are looking for a preschool dance action song to change things up, to make a transition from one part of the class to another or to save the day, here are five great ones to get you started. You can check out my Preschool Dance Action song Spotify playlist here 1. Doin’ the Penguin – this is great at the end of class as a wind down. To add to the song you can bring in a toy penguin. I usually spend some time discussing what color he is, whether he can fly and then after we have finished falling down for the last time, I ask Mr Penguin whether he liked our dance. He gets so excited he tries to fly away and I have to catch him. 2. The Goldfish song – a super popular action song. The kids LOVE it!! Perfect for saving the day! 3. Dance at the Royal Ball – This is GREAT!! Before you start with this Preschool action song gem you can pretend to get all dressed up like a Princess. Then, explain about the naughty fairy and practice moving like one of the animals the great thing about this song is that the tempo of the music in between each animal varies thus allowing for creative movement 4. Here comes a bear – I LOVE this song for transitioning from centre work to across the floor. It is a great song for the start of the year. If you do it each week, after a few terms the kids can start to be a bit silly, you’ll know when it’s time to put it away this one is particularly good for me and my grown up classes 5. Dr Knickerbocker – I love this one for toe tap tendus and it can also work well for tap. On the chorus, do. toe taps and then follow the instructions, stamp feet, hips etc this works best for older classes due to its length Have fun with your Preschool Dance Action songs. Happpy Dancing.
