Just kidding... but prepping for today I couldn't help but feel like I was getting ready to play candy land. I decided to try something new for our first seating chart. If your kids are like mine the first quarter is always a bit of a honeymoon. They are so happy to be in your room and hang on your every word. They follow directions and do EVERYTHING you ask. okay more like first day, maybe week, but you know what I mean... Anyway... my seating chart planning started at the paint store. I picked up three matching samples for each of the primary and secondary colors plus a neutral as I have 7 tables. One paint sample was taped to the middle of the taped to identify it as that color of table. The other two were cut into color squares. Once set of the color squares were taped to the corner of tables. I taped the second set to white paper and laminated it. As the students walked into the room they were given a colored card. On the board was the directions to match their colored card to the table and have a seat. When I entered the room we started into the "Rules and Regulations." About 1/2 way through the class they get to work on their information card and I walked around the room writing down names and putting together the seating chart. A few things I realized: in 6 classes I ended up with only 1 table of all boys/girls students told me their names vs. me guessing pronunciations or abbreviations students were active and engaged from the start of class, no more listening to me read names for 5 minutes students started collaborating already, working together to get everyone to the right spot it was easy to accommodate for class size. My neutral table is my "extra" table and I would just add/remove the neutral paint samples as needed.

Hi, Teaching Friends! It’s an end of year ritual in most classrooms – go through those bins of markers and sort the good ones from those that have nothing left to give. You know the ones I mean: Palest Purple, Been-around-too-long Blue, Seen better days Scarlet, … I don’t know about you, but to me ... Read More about Worn Out Markers? Here’s an Idea!
can you believe that we're almost to february? we're 3 weeks into january! how did that happen?!!? there are SO MANY THINGS going on in blog-land these days. i'm a little disturbed by it, to tell you the truth. how do all of these people have time? why aren't they spending their januarys finishing late christmas presents? did they all just throw up their hands in defeat on december 31st? that must be it. and really, good for them. if the presents are late, they're late, an extra month or two won't make a difference. or maybe they said screw the handmade gifts for 2011... i applaud that as well. i was wishing that i had the time to do a quilt-a-long or two, but that's just not gonna happen at the moment. then i decided to keep track of the interesting quilt-a-longs so that i could go back to them when i DID have time, and there were so many of them that my list turned into this post. if you know of others, leave a comment with a link, please. there are multiple scrappy quilt-alongs at the moment, and it seems to be good timing - enough people have been quilting long enough to have ridiculous scrap piles! Jodi from Pleasant Home is running a Sew Scraps Along with tons of inspirational posts, links to tutorials, prizes and so much more. Rachel over at Stitched in Color is doing a Scrap Attack Quilt-a-long, with weekly tutorials and/or interviews with other bloggers. and if you finish a scrap quilt by the end of March, you can win prizes! justabitfrayed is doing a scrappy quilt-a-long with a specific pattern, and it's so pretty! however, the most popular Quilt-Alongs by far are star or sparkle themed. HUGE trend for 2012, obviously! (and isn't my little group quilt cutting edge then?) Chelsea from Pins and Bobbins is running a quilt-a-long for the Made In Cherry star quilt designed by Sarah Fielke Faith from Fresh Lemons is doing a sampler style quilt-a-long that's all different star blocks, called Solstice Stars. Jeni from In Color Order and Megan from Canoe Ridge Creations are coordinating a Sparkle Quilt Along that's super cute. Elizabeth Hartman of Oh Fransson is running a quilt-a-long for her pattern Sparkle Punch. here's a pillow top made up by flickr user GoingSewCrazy. isn't it gorgeous!? Hannah from Heartbreak Homestead has posted the first block of her Starry Skies Sampler Quilt project, and it's very lovely. and vintage sheet stars!!! Holly told me about this yesterday, and i'm so in love! Sheila at Thought and Found is creating a stunning star quilt, with blocks that she's designed as well as blocks designed by various guests. i know i totally don't have time for such an ambitious project, but oh my goodness! if you're not into stars, you still have a few other options... Jeni from In Color Order has started an HST block of the month for 2012, so you could do that instead! or how about the Swoon-a-long that Katy from Monkey Do is organizing, using the Swoon pattern by Camille Roskelley? or the monthly mini-quilt sew-along that Randi at I Have To Say is doing for 2012? each quilt will start on the 2nd tuesday of every month, and the supply list will go up about a week before that. january was courthouse steps, don't they look lovely? Sarah from Narcoleptic in a Cupboard is in the process of designing a really lovely quilt as well, called the Stained QAL because of the quilt's stained glass look. you can see the original quilt here. Jenna at Sew Happy Geek is doing a modern/traditional mixed sampler style quilt-along that looks awfully cute. 3 blocks have been posted so far, and the flickr group is so pretty! Kim's Crafty Apple is coordinating a House and Tree Quilt-Along that could be super fun! there will be 16 blocks total, all designed by different people, and each block will contain either a house or a tree, or both. Two blocks have been posted so far, and more are coming! i saw a sneak peak of the block that will be released on January 31st and it's GORGEOUS! seriously, i think i'd be happy making 16 of that same block.... as everyone in the VMQG knows, Terry's pretty amazing. or maybe you'd rather focus on colour for your theme? Pantone released their official colour of the year, and it's "Tangerine Tango" Ali from a²(w) and Erin from Two More Seconds are hosting a Tangerine Tango Quilt Challenge, complete with two categories and awesome prizes! the flickr group is already starting to look pretty fabulous... and i'm not even an orange fan! and if you're thinking that your freemotion could use some help, Leah from the Free Motion Quilting Project has started a new project for 2012 and Sew Cal Gal is also doing a year-long Free Motion Quilt Challenge, with monthly prizes! or how about something completely superfluous? QuiltJane is hosting a "Dress up your Roll" contest. Yes, THAT roll! it is possible to make toilet paper covers that don't involve ruffled dresses and half barbies - just think of them as mug rugs in tube form! you can enter as many times as you like, and the international prize is pretty damn fine. my toilet paper roll might be needing an outfit... so. feeling motivated? you've got lots to start with! apparently Fat Quarterly blogged about some of these the other day.... i'd say that this will be a lesson to me on getting my ass in gear and not leaving drafts in blogger for weeks at a time while i add to them - and on keeping up with other blogs - but frankly, i haven't learned anything! it just means that great minds think alike, that's all. right? ;)

"About Me" one-pagers can be an easy, creative first day of school or identity unit activity. This fun icebreaker will introduce your students to the one-pager method and guide them to easily share a lot about themselves with you and their classmates. You'll find easy instructions that will give every student a roadmap to a successful one-pager, plus three different templates to try out. This activity will give you the materials for an amazing classroom display you can put up on day two! Plus, you'll be astonished at how much you learn about your students as they create, share, and turn in these beautiful one-pagers. Here's what Teachers are Saying: "This was so open-ended and allowed me to really get to know a little about my students and allowed THEM to show so much creativity! Loved it. (And they were SO colorful & cool looking - great for a BOY display!)" "Creative, colorful, and engaging for all with the element of choice in what they would include. My students were excited to introduce themselves to their mid-year teacher (me) through images and words that were important to them. Even those reluctant to share about themselves found ways to give me a glimpse of what they enjoy in life. Thank you for a resource that I am sure will adapt to any class I teach!" "Love these so hard!" This product is also available as part of my One-Pagers Mega-Bundle. If you love one-pagers, check it out! My one-pager templates have been featured in The New York Times, at We Are Teachers, Cult of Pedagogy, and more. Questions? I'm at [email protected] By the way, could you use a hand dealing with AI?
