Changes in the 4th grade classroom!

So I have survived a 6th of the school year and am almost 3/12ths of the way through, and am now having to implement changes!

I am so stressed, anxious, worried, and hopeful for how my changes and modifications for my ESL students will go because I am going to teach him English if it is the only thing I do this year. That I promise!! In a class of 8 it is really nice to give each student the one-on-one attention they deserve and require at times, but it is also important to see when things are working out for students, too.

So wish me luck! I am starting at square one...first grade language skills and getting the ball rolling ASAP.

1/12th of the way through!

So progress reports went out on Wednesday! I am so proud of my kiddos progress and am anticipating a great semester :) While the first week of school was learning the ropes of the students and them getting to know me since I am the NEW teacher, I feel that we have had a productive 2 weeks! I am still searching for tips to make Math and Reading as fun as Science and Language Arts and searching for field trip ideas for Social Studies...I mean seriously, we study Texas History, these kids deserve to visit some major Texas landmark sometime in the course!!

Well wish me luck!

Tempting Tuesday!

I am trying to eat healthier. I was assigned to create a behavior managemnet plan in my behavior class and figured I needed a good grade and to help myself.
