Something big is happening at our school this year! We are becoming a 7 Habits Leadership School. If you're not sure what this is, don't worry, I wasn't either, lol. Stephen Covey wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Leader in Me is essentially the school/kid version of that book. As a school we won't start implementing the 7 Habits until next month but we have started using Leadership Notebooks regularly in place of our Data Notebooks. If you use a Data Notebook in your class you'll notice that our Leadership Notebooks are not that much different... Just a few more things added. Now, I will be the first to say that I'm not 100% sure that this is how a Leadership Notebook should look/be set up, or if there even is a way to do it perfectly, but this one works fabulously for us! Here is an inside look at what we have in ours. FAIR WARNING: This is an insanely long post but full of freebies. Just click on the image to snag yours! Starting off, every student has a 1" white binder with a page view cover. You can have your students bring in tabs or make your own. We made our own using file folders that we cut in half and hole punched! The very first thing the students and parents see when you open the binder is a letter to the parents explaining what a Leadership Notebook is and the expectations for both the student and parents. Next up is a Parent Review and Comments page. We will send these notebooks home a few times every month. This page keeps parents updated on what has been added since the last time they saw it and has a section for them to sign or comment and ask questions if need be. Our tabs are as follows: My Self: This is where you can find everything personal about students. Their goals, behavior, homework tracker, contributions, etc. Every month students create an academic goal and a personal goal to work on. The first time I introduce this I only have them focus on their academic goal. The following month we will write a goal for each: academic and personal. More on this coming up with Leader in Me Mini-Series: SMART Goals. Academics is a huge focus in schools, obviously, but you also want to teach your students to be good people! We talk about contributing to our communities in different ways and keep a log of how they contribute to our school. We have many opportunities to do so through fundraisers and Kids Care Club and every time they contribute something (time or money) they get to color in a box. I will tell you that this is what my students gravitate to more than anything! They LOVE being a part of something and helping in any way they can. Since they have started filling out this form I have become inundated with contributions from my kids! Makes for one proud teacher :o) Reading Data: Here you can find their Lexile scores, fluency graph, graph for Unit Tests, and their Reading DE scores. You can also keep track of how many books they've read, Reading Genre Challenge, etc. Add whatever you want! Math Data: Very similar to the Reading Data section! Students keep their Multiplication Masters Fluency Tracking Chart, Math Chapter Tests, and Math DE scores here. Science/Social Studies Data: This holds their science and social studies tests so far... Maybe later on I will think of more things to add but that's about it for now! Writing Data: Samples of student writing and county writing scores are housed here. The back also has a special cover that we slide in! Together we made a Class Mission Statement and everyone's Leadership Notebook has their own copy of the statement so they can see it even when they go home. This was written word for word by them! If you want to know how to write your own class mission statement, keep your eyes open for Leader in Me Mini-Series: Mission Statements, coming soon! Whew!!! You made it! I told you it was a long post, but click on some of the photos and you can grab yourself a free copy of that document! Do you implement Leadership Notebooks in your class? How do you like it? Anything I should add to ours?
Title: Grazi The Ice Dragon (on sketchbook) Size: 5.5” x 8.5” Media: polymer clay, hand painted glass cabochon, paint, hardware, on a sketchbook At home in the cold, frozen world of the North, Grazi, the Ice Dragon, is glamorous with her sleek silver sheen. A sight to behold. Grazi is graceful and caring. She is a mediator. Widely sought after for her skill at finding successful compromises within opposing parties, she brings a calm energy to those she engages with. Revered for her ability to bring a beautiful balance from chaos. If you are the lucky owner of Grazi, she will bestow upon her owner the gift of opening third eye sight and intuition, and solutions will become known in all situations. A hand painted eye set in a one-of-a-kind individually sculpted art piece attached to a blank sketchbook She is detachable and can be affixed to a number of surfaces; a new sketchbook when yours is filled or a canvas, a board and framed. She a perfect gift for you or a loved one that loves to draw, or journal. Grazi would make a beautiful cover for a gratitude journal, a handmade grimoire or treasured recipe book. So many possibilities. Another gem in this year of the Dragon.
The third and final installment of the artist's facsimile sketchbook series. After over fifteen years deferral, delay and dawdling, the ink-and-paper cheerleader F. C. Ware finally succumbs to imaginary public pressure by concluding his tiresome experiment in reader trust with the third and final volume of secret notebooks and sketches spanning over thirty-seven years of bus rides, airport delays and telephone hold music. Exquisitely crafted fine art doodles, hand-selected meanderings and artisanal rewritings of personal conflict are scattered throughout comic strips unconsciously revealing private hostilities and unflattering portraits of public transportation riders, the whole carefully cleansed of any impugnable or litigious tracery. As a professional adult-picture-book drawer and regular contributor to the New Yorker, Le Monde and the Illinois Cook County Assessor s office, Mr. Ware s work in these pages secures his reputation as an reliably unreliable self-narrator, willing to say or write anything to win petty disputes and imagined squabbles. 208 full-colour pages augmented by annotations, introduction and a professional apology, with paper boards and cloth spine of misleading demureness to conceal its native prurience.

This series is dedicated to the mama who may have discovered that she has either planned too much/too little or has not included enough variety/engaging activities in her homeschool lesson plans. Follow along as I show you ways that you can lighten your load without compromising learning while adding in some truly awesome extras! Now, I hear you. If your load is heavy, why am I suggesting that you ADD something?! Well, I am actually going to offer suggestions for both replacing time-consuming (or otherwise challenging) things and including resources if you are currently left lacking at the end of your homeschool days. Hopefully, you’ll find something helpful in this series that will bless you and your family. If you'd rather watch a video version of this review, head to YouTube! Today’s featured resource could actually be a replacement or an enrichment. We’ve added Extreme Dot to Dot: Around the USA as a fun add-in to our US Geography study this year. I’ll give you the basic details about the books, then I’ll go into more details about how we are using it and what it could do for you in your curriculum plan. image from timberdoodle.com These puzzle books by Mindware cover various history, geography and science topics. Check out all the options at Timberdoodle’s website! There are 32 puzzles per book, with anywhere from 400 to 1,400 dots per puzzle! I will say, that makes the dots pretty tiny. You’ll see below my little guy has his face right in the book to follow the numbers. They are recommended for grades 3 and up and I concur with that suggestion. My third grader is using this book this year and he seems to express the right mix of challenge, confidence and fun. These are a secular resource, in that some of the solution summaries provide information that does not align with a Biblical worldview. Timberdoodle posts a disclaimer about this on the product page so that parents are aware. We are using this as a fun extra that is always available to my son. I think we all have those “extra special” resources that we like to set aside and purposefully plan in our homeschool routines and lessons. This could be one of those in your home. You could easily assign these puzzles in lieu of coloring pages for the older kiddos who have bid farewell to the Crayola days. They could work on these to “reveal” what the lesson topic is going to be about that day. How fun! ‘Solve the puzzle to discover what we’re learning today, buddy!’ (I may have to try that one!) For now, I just leave this book out and my son picks it up during recess, evenings or weekends when screen time or outside play isn’t an option. There are solutions in the back of the book which include a very brief summary of the person/event revealed in the puzzle, a picture of the puzzle image and a total number of dots in each puzzle. My son likes to know the number of dots at the start of a puzzle, so I have started to write the number up in the corner of the page for him. He doesn’t like to look in the back himself because he doesn’t want to spoil the fun and see the completed puzzle. I think I am going to photocopy the solutions and cut them into individual little “cards.” This way, he can see the completed image without viewing future puzzles’ solutions. So how could this help lighten the load or accommodate different learning styles? If you have a child who does not like drawing or coloring, this could be a great substitute to use for “artwork” while notebooking. You could remove the binding from the book, insert the pages into a notebook and include journaling pages in between. You could use the history-themed dot to dot books in lieu of traditional timelines. Do the puzzle, copy/cut the solution to make a “timeline card” and put in a book of centuries or across your wall. It would limit the writing of traditional timelines, if that is an issue for your kiddos. I don’t think I have to elaborate on how this could brighten your days. I know many kiddos would love to have this in a Fun Friday basket or even on a plain ol’ Tuesday to replace a regular, “boring” worksheet. I mentioned above that I think this would be a great lesson starter to build interest. I simply love these books and would love to hear from you if you have other creative ways to use them.

This Ready to Print & Use, Common Core Aligned, Grade Specific, Interactive Language Notebook is a time saving product for teachers who want to use an interactive notebook but have limited time in the classroom for construction. I created my interactive notebook series with ready to print & use templates that already contain page numbers and a table of contents for students. They are intended to be printed for each student in the classroom and placed in either a 3 prong theme folder or 1 inch three ring binder. No composition books are needed. Because it is ready to print & use, limited time is spent on cutting, pasting, and organizing. This allows for more classroom time to be spent on learning material, and student creation errors are reduced or eliminated. This product does not need to be completed in numeric page order because each skill is on its own individual page. It can be completed in the order that best fits your curriculum and meets your students' needs. Interactive activities included in this resource are cutting and pasting, word puzzles, chants, fill in the blank, and note taking opportunities. Included in this product: a cover page teacher directions student cover sheet and printable labels table of contents for students 23 template skill pages aligned with the common core that include helpful reading tips and can be printed front to back 6 cut & paste activity pages that need to be copied separately tabs that can be printed on cardstock for students to glue if combining this product with my other Interactive Notebook Products This product is included in my Ready to Print & Use Third Grade Interactive Notebook Bundle.

Even though my new position is not strictly technology, technology is still a HUGE part of my job. My county is currently piloting one-to-one devices at 10 elementary schools. My school is not one of the piloting schools, but students in first through third grades will begin using one-to-one devices next year. The other grade …
