Summer and History

I thoroughly enjoyed all the presentations this summer. Anthony always brings a great energy with him and lots of great ideas. And a wow to all the insight and info we received from Sharon. Fran shared some great books. Jay went to our librarian when we got back to school and gave her a list of books.

For the first day of school, I shared with students my hero and had them write about one of theirs. For Back to School Night, I asked parents to share with their child one of their heros. Whenever I have a free moment, I grab the Heros book and read about a hero. So a big thank you to Dennis for sharing his book.

Just was thinking after our 2 days how grateful I am for all the information we received.

I liked the 9 best practices for 2 reasons. It validated what I'm already doing. I also learned some fun teaching ideas from Dr. Bobbi and my peers.

With all the technology from Adina, all I can say is WOW! As much as I wish we had a month to spend with her on power points, building a livebinder, and tweeting, I'm was really impressed with how much she gave us in such a short amount of time. And because time was a factor, she gave us all the sites to go to for tutorials and other resources.

So a big thank you ladies!

I'm figuring out how I want to set up my livebinder. I'm thinking of having each tab be grouped by subject: math, LA, Science, etc... Any other ideas would be appreciated.
