Book review of Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper, a middle grade book worth reading about a young girl trapped in her mind by her disability.

I am going to share these photos because at some point in time, I have completely related to them, if not now. This isn’t a reflection of my current state of mind, in fact, I am feeling reall…
My new obsession this year has been making and using anchor charts for my lessons. Here are just some of the anchor charts I have made this year. Some of these charts are original ideas but many are ideas I have seen and used from other teachers. I am not good at drawing so I use clipart from my computer to add pictures to my anchor charts. I print them out and glue them onto the chart! It’s so much easier and looks so much better than what I could draw! I also laminate my anchor charts so I can use them year to year. By laminating the charts I can easily write and erase on them by using an Expo marker.

This past week reviewed summary in fiction stories. I don’t know about you, but my kids pretty much thought summary was sequencing every event in the story and then just picking an answer choice based on luck. I am a list person that loves to color code, so why couldn’t I bring that into my classroom? First, we reviewed how to summarize using our two methods. Using the summary story mountain, we used post-it notes to supplement our learning. This REALLY helped my kids that needed a distinct break between the story elements. We also had wonderful conversations as to why a specific action belonged in the climax Post-It note. When they were give the post-it notes it really helped them “get the gist” of the story. I modeled it first with them, then they completed this activity in partners, THEN they did it alone. Our team doesn’t use a basal, but we needed passages that wouldn’t be too difficult as they were in learning mode. We pulled […]

My article Depression and Your Messy House is the most read article on this blog in the past year. If you’ve ever found yourself caught in the vicious cycle of perfectionism and depression, you are not alone.
With technological advances, advertisers, governments and media empires exert their influence over the populous in ways that were unheard of a generation ago.

En 1913, Carl Gustav Jung, disciple de Freud, rompt avec le maître. Pour Jung, la psychanalyse a pour véhicule essentiel le rêve, guérisseur, quand pour Freud, le rêve n'exprime que les névroses. L'expérience de la psychanalyse est-elle spirituelle ? La vie intérieure est-elle à privilégier ?
