I LOVE my class this year. Diverse. Capable. Sweet. Unique. Enthusiastic. Energetic. Hard-working. Funny. Lovable. These are some of the words that come to mind when I think of my first graders. But one more word that also comes to mind is...chatty. Very chatty. We are a 'work in progress' with this. And thank goodness, we are continuing to improve each week. :-) Now, don't get me wrong, I believe a classroom should be FULL of rich, collaborative dialogue. Student discussion is vital, and our little guys need frequent opportunities to engage with peers and share their thoughts. I pride myself on having a dynamic, student-centered classroom that encourages this. To foster this kind of a climate, however, students also need to learn how to be effective listeners and independent workers. There are appropriate and inappropriate times for talking, and to get students to adhere to these boundaries, clear expectations must be set. Here are 12 ideas/strategies to try when working with a chatty class.
For our anniversary my mother gave my husband and I a beautiful basket filled with treats. A date basket, if you will. There was a beautiful candle, a pretty vintage keepsake linen, raspberry chocolate coffee and the most adorable floral napkins. Adorable, right? If that wasn’t good enough, she also lovingly made the most delicious individually jarred cheesecakes that my sweet tooth had ever indulged in. Be still my cheesecake loving heart. There is nothing I love more then cheesecake, then NOT having to share my cheesecake with someone. So, having my own little jar full of fruity creamy goodness was the best gift ever. There was no hiding in the bathroom so I wouldn’t have to share my piece of dessert with others, it was individually sized just for me. Perfection. And I even gave my husbands his own jar too. After enjoying it so much, I knew this would be a recipe I would want to recreate and pass along to friends on special occasions, so I got right to making some more. And shared it with all of our family and friends. For two 14 ounce jars you will need: 2/3 cup crumbs of choice (graham […]

Every time I’m out with my kids – this seems to happen: An older woman stops us, puts her hand over her heart and says something like, “Oh- Enjoy every moment. This time goes by so fast.” Everywhere I go, someone is telling me to seize the moment, raise my awareness, be happy, enjoy every...

Yep, it’s almost that time of year. Halloween is just around the corner. I can’t believe we’re already in the middle of October. I love all the cute, scary sweet treats you find this time of year, but I wanted something savory to throw in the mix. I found this Baked Eyeball Eggs casserole and thought it was hysterical, and maybe a little gross, too. I’m a big fan of breakfast and especially runny eggs, so I couldn’t wait to make this one. So, how’s it taste? It was seriously tasty. Anything with potatoes, cheese, and sour cream gets me drooling. It’s also calls for a can of condensed potato soup, but I substituted mushroom because I didn’t want potato overkill. Yeah, so what if it’s one of “those” casseroles. It’s full of flavor, easy to make, the leftovers rocked, and it’s so darn Halloweeny. If you aren’t a fan of spice, definitely go for the ketchup over the Sriracha, but the nozzle on the Sriracha makes drawing the “veins” really easy. I didn’t end up with runny eggs since I overbaked it just a little. It’s very tempting since the whites of the egg stay glossy and I was […]
