I know I have neglected my blog but I hope to get back on track. <br />
I wanted to share with you guys about a wonderful blogging platform that I have used for the past two years. On Friday I introduced my students to Kidblog. If you haven't checked it out you really should! Last year my students really enjoyed blogging and I could not wait to get it underway this year. <br />
Kidblog is a free, safe, and user friendly blogging platform. Last year I reasearched several blogging sites and even seeked the advise of the technology experts in my county, Kidblog is by far the best platform for students to learn about and experience the blogging world<br />
<br />
I plan to use blogging in my class weekly and assign blogging as homework from time to time. This is a great way to have students respond to literature as well as create great conversations among students in a variety of subject areas. Below is a sneak peek at what kidblog looks like. This is a post that I asked my students to respond to.<br />

Last year we blogged alot about our science and social studies topics as well as other subject areas. This platform allows you to add videos, pictures, and links to your blog. This is a great way to have students respond to videos, pictures, or information from a website. I also plan on using blogging to have students explain their thinking. I can see this being a great platform for math discussions. The possibilities are endless!<br />
<br />
Kidblog also enables you to add students so they have their own blogs. What I love about this is that you are not asked to give any personal information on the students and Kidblog does not require each student to have their own email address. Below you will see a student blog page. This student decided to post a blog about something he was interested in and then asked a question to encourage conversation among his peers. <br />

In the blog below the student wanted to suggest a book to the class. You will notice that I commented on his post and encouraged him to give additional information about the book.<br />

I am sooo excited!!! It is held in Atlanta and is a great opportunity to find out all the wonderful things that are out there for educators. One of my colleagues went last year and brought back so many wonderful ideas. So today I thought I would share one of those wonderful ideas with all of you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Okay........so this handy little tool is called linoit. It can be found at </span><a href="http://www.linoit.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">www.linoit.com</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. It is free and very user friendly. Linoit is a digital online classroom display board where teachers and students can post information on sticky notes. All you need to post to the board is access to the URL. Once you post a sticky it shows up on the board instantly. I utilize this by displaying the board on my big tv and as the students post their sticky notes they are added to the board for the whole class to see. With this tool you also have the capability of embedding videos, web links, and pictures. Click </span><a href="http://21centuryedtech.wordpress.com/2011/08/14/part-1-digital-collaboration-series-linoit-no-student-log-in-plus-50-integration-ideas/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> for a wonderful article about the many ways to use linoit in the classroom or </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvo4YyroM3k&feature=channel&list=UL" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> for a quick tutorial, but first read on to see a few ways that I have used it with my students. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">During our units on wants and needs I was able to link a brainpop video into my linoit board. The students were asked to click on the link and watch the video. Once they finished the video they went back to the board and posted an example of a want on a yellow sticky and a need on a green sticky. All the students have to do to get to the board is have access to the URL. I usually provided the students with a QR code or a tinyurl so they would not have to spend so much time typing in the link. The students were able to use iPads and </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Motorola Xooms to post their sticky notes. They were also able to use laptops. To find out more about QR codes and tiny url's please go to one of my previous post.

<span style="font-size: large;">I have had so much fun looking at all your wonderful post for Teacher Week!! I have got some amazing ideas and my to do list just keeps growing. I am excited to share Where I Teach!! I just recently posted my classroom reveal so I thought what better way to show you were I teach than to take you on a tour. I am linking you back to that post so that you can tour my classroom!! </span> <span style="font-size: large;">Before you tour, I would like to take just a few minutes to brag on my school. I teach at a charter school in Northeast Georgia. Our focus is on Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. Our goal is to expose our students to many different experiences and give them many opportunities to succeed. I think Howard Gardner said it best.......It's not how SMART your are, but how your are SMART!! We offer a variety of specialty classes to our students. Our specialty classes are things like culinary arts, science lab, golf, tennis, archery, equestrian studies, Spanish, Chinese, baton, high tech literacy, videography, digital photography, and the list goes on and on. Our students absolutely love it and are given so many wonderful opportunities that they might not get otherwise. I love my school and could not imagine working anywhere else!!! Enjoy the tour!!!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm linking up over at </span><a href="http://imbloghoppin.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Blog Hoppin</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> for Teacher Week 2012. Today is Technology Tip Tuesday. This is right up my alley!!! I love technology and could go on forever about it. Don't worry........I narrowed it down to 4 favorites. Well these are my favorites today, but that could change tomorrow. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip #1</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tagxedo.......oh, how I love thee!!! This was one of my very favorite sites last year!! With this tool you can create wonderful word clouds in a variety of shapes. You can even upload your own images and have the word cloud form the shape of the image. It is extremely easy to insert words and create in Tagxedo. </span></div>
<div align="LEFT">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Below is an example of two that I did last year. I had all my students write down an adjective about each person in the class. I entered all of them into tagxedo, picked a shape, and voila!!! I framed these and gave them as end of the year gifts.</span> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip #2</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">QR Codes!! I really began utilizing QR Codes in my classroom last year. They are so beneficial and helpful!! I use a QR generator called Kaywa. Here is the link </span><a href="http://qrcode.kaywa.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">http://qrcode.kaywa.com/</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. This tool is extremely user friendly. I place QR codes on my newsletter each week for my website, practice sites, research sites, etc. I also have them in my classroom divided into the following categories: Lang. Arts, Math, and Random. They allow students to get to a site quickly and also ensures that they are on a safe and secure site. Here is how I organize them in my classroom. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Lq4lj8BErhJ5b_zC5M_fD0gUF6SlcY3hEiGIBPptzvxB-IenYKpaWYRyej_6YDCqKacYTISFaf6LYixznEgM2hTYN9Hl4lgm3fmfn0AQB54oW9wwlCf94kmLB8AXQkmAo1it6-Ve-Edx/s1600/IMAG0344.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Lq4lj8BErhJ5b_zC5M_fD0gUF6SlcY3hEiGIBPptzvxB-IenYKpaWYRyej_6YDCqKacYTISFaf6LYixznEgM2hTYN9Hl4lgm3fmfn0AQB54oW9wwlCf94kmLB8AXQkmAo1it6-Ve-Edx/s400/IMAG0344.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip #3</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How many of you have ever wanted to share a link but it was just toooooo long. Well there is a way to make the url shorter and more manageable by using a simple web tool called Tiny URL. It is very user freindly and so so easy to use. Try it out!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://tinyurl.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">http://tinyurl.com</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tip #4</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I came across this wonderful interactive hundreds board last year. I absolutely love it. It is very interactive and the kids can get involved by painting in the numbers on the board. My students love it and it really keeps their focus. I decided to make the link into a tiny url to share with you. See I am already using tip #3!!</span></div>

I just came across this wonderful Teacher Week Linky Party over at </span><a href="http://imbloghoppin.blogspot.com/2012/08/teacher-week-must-haves-monday-with.html"><span style="font-size: large;">Blog Hoppin</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and I just could not resist!!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When thinking about Must-Haves for my classroom the first thing that comes to mind is my hovercam document camera. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!! I really don't know how I ever survived without it!!</span> <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My next classroom must have is my camera. I love taking pictures and sharing them with my parents. I add a picture to almost every newsletter to give parents a little glimpse into our week. I like using my Canon but it is too difficult to transport it daily so I use my phone often.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have tons of classroom Must Haves but the last one I will share is my teacher binder. It keeps me organized and on top of things.</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am so thrilled that I finally got around to finishing my Story Stones. I first saw these over at </span><a href="http://happyhooligans.wordpress.com/2011/08/21/story-stones/"><span style="font-size: large;">Happy Hooligans</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and just fell in love. I am looking forward to introducing them to my students. Most kids can use them for story starters without a lot of additional instruction, but for those who need more I have come up with some activity cards. You can download the activity cards </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxodW5xq1QyKM0V3SEJyMGJvcHc/edit"><span style="font-size: large;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">I simply used stickers and mod podge to make my stones. I know alot of you very creative folks have painted and scrapbooked your story stones but mine are just plain and simple.</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have used these for a very long time, but I decided to make new ones this year. I tell my students that as they are reading they need to keep their eye on the words. The kids love to use the wiggly eyes to track their print.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well that is it for my Monday Made It!! I can't wait to check out all your wonderful ideas and creations!!</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I was searching for something fun for my students to do with place value when I came across this post on pinterest, </span><a href="http://gingersnapstreatsforteachers.blogspot.com/2011/09/place-value-review.html"><span style="font-size: large;">Place Value Marathon.</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> It really </span><span style="font-size: large;">inspired me and I set out to work on my own version that would meet the needs of my 2nd graders. I decided that I would go with the Olympics theme since it is so relevant right now. During the first few days of school I heard lots of talk about the Olympic games. I realized that my students were very excited about the Olympics and this would be a great way to motivate them. Well.......let me just say, when I told them that they were going to be participating in an Olympic event, I really got their attention. The first day of this activity was the Olympic Trials. On this day we went over all the different skills that we had been learning about place value. We went over our place value anchor chart and discussed the different ways to write a number. After a quick discussion and review we got right into the Olympic Trials. I wrote a focus number on the board and began asking the students questions like what number is in the hundreds column, what is ten more than our focus number, etc. I then allowed them to write their responses on their table with an expo marker......they love this. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I told them that since today was the Olympic Trials they had to prove by their good work that they deserved a spot in the Olympic Games. Boy oh boy, did that ever work!! They were all determined to earn their spot. I was happy to announce at the end of our math time that they had all made it to the Olympic Games which would take place tomorrow in our classroom. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The next day they came in very excited about the big upcoming event. We started out by talking about how the Olympics takes discipline, motivation, and determination. We discussed that not only do Olympic athletes have to be good at their event but they also have to be disciplined. I discuss my expectations for behavior during the Games as well as explaining how the event works. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I placed the task cards around the room and assigned each person a starting point. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Each student was given a response sheet and a pencil. I explained that the task are numbered so it is very important that they looked at the number and respond in the appropriate space on their student response sheet. Once they got started I allowed them to move among the task freely. They knew to find a task that not very many people were at. They did really well with this!! After they completed all 15 task they turned their sheet in and was rewarded the Place Value Gold Medal. </span><br />

It has been a CRAZY week. I went back to school on Tuesday, open house on Thursday, and first day for the students on Friday. In the midst of all this my husband's grandmother passed away. She was 92 years old and has lived a long blessed life. We will miss her but we know that she is in a better place. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the bulletin board that is outside my classroom. I make wanted posters for each child. It is alot of fun burning the edges......NOT!! I blurred out faces and names but I did leave one so you could see. He is mine so I guess it is okay. And yes.........because of special circumstances, I am teaching my own child this year. PRAY!!! Below is a close up of the wanted poster.</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I made this a while back but I really love it and thought I would share. This is where the students tell me things that they feel are important. Having them write it down and put it in the tattle box limits interruptions during instruction. We talk as a class about what kinds of things would need my immediate attention and what kinds of things are more appropriate for the tattle box. When they add to the tattle box they raise the flag so I will know to check it. I keep paper beside the box so they can write down their concerns and add them to the box. It works like a charm!!!</span></div>

I saw the idea of using the initials somewhere but can't remember where. If it was you please let me know so I can give you credit.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">The letters were cut out of vinyl on a cricut. The other decorations were made from sheets of duct tape! I mod podged over the duct tape to assure that it wouldn't come off.</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I did not actually make this but it is just too cute not to share. My niece, JuliAnn, made this beautiful teacher apron for me. I just love it! It comes in so handy when your like me and can't remember where you put your tape, stapler, pen, etc. I especially enjoy using it when I am putting up a bulletin board. I think she did an amazing job!! Pretty talented......huh!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have had such a great time starting my little blog. What a great experience! I especially love Mondays......I know, that really sounds weird!!! Well, the only reason I love them is because I get to see all the creative posts from all of you wonderful and talented bloggers!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">So........I couldn't wait until Monday to share my teacher organization binder so I kinda snuck it in on Saturday. You can check it out </span><a href="http://secondgradechatter.blogspot.com/2012/08/every-teacher-needs-organizational.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today, I am sharing several items that I have completed for my classroom. I have been working like crazy and can't wait to show you my classroom reveal next week. Here is a little sneak preview!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">This chair has been in my basement forever!! I was inspired by a little blog entitled </span><a href="http://thingswefancy.blogspot.com/2012/01/diy-re-covered-office-chair.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Things We Fancy</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"> to give it a makeover!! I just love it and it has now become my new teacher chair. It was very easy, but I have to admit that my sweet friend's husband did the seat for me. Thanks Laura and Matt!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am so excited about this little project. I stumbled upon this idea at </span><a href="http://theteachergeek.com/2010/03/create-a-digital-word-wall/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Teacher Geek.</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I just loved the idea and got busy making one for my classroom. I have all of the 2nd grade sight words filtering through the frame. It is super easy!! I also found this cool site<a href="http://techietuesday.wikispaces.com/Digital+Frames+in+the+Classroom">(here)</a></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"> that gives you other ideas for digital frame uses in the classroom as well as tips on all the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">techy stuff!!</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I am really not sure exactly how I am going to use it yet. My frame actually has a remote so that it can be paused and moved forwards and backwards. I thought about possibly using it during my word work time. Do you guys have any wonderful ideas on how to make the most of my digital word wall??</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I know....I know....I showed you guys my clipboards last week, but if you remember I said that I wanted to make a few each day or so until I had a class set. Well......that is exactly what I have been doing (with a little help). These are my two latest creations!! I am gearing up for football season as I am sure many of you are doing! I just happen to be a HUGE Dawgs fan!! I just hope I am able to part with them and allow my students to use them. It will be difficult to say the least!!</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is the trapezoid table at the front of my room. I am always looking for more storage so what better way than to add a table skirt. It looks neat and hides the storage!! This one was really fun because I did not call on my sister who is very handy with a sewing machine. Instead, I decided to do it myself!! It is amazing what a little stitch witchery and an iron will do. I also covered the seat of my stool. I used a foam egg crate mattress cover for my cushion. I actually had it left over from my crate seats. I was very happy with the way it all came out!!</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I go back to school TOMORROW....Can you believe it???? I am going to be a very busy girl!! I am really looking forward to getting everything completed in my classroom and showing you my big reveal!! Stay Tuned!!</span> </div>

I have organized all of my important information in a binder for years. It seems as if each year my binder changes. I know that all teachers like things organized in their own way, but I thought I would share what works best for me.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I will go ahead and apologize for the pictures. My cell phone got wet while we were at Six Flags on Thursday. I had a great time with my family but if I never see Six Flags again it will be way too soon!!</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Who am I kidding?!?! My boys are only 7 yrs. old and 10 yrs. old. I have many visits to Six Flags in my future. It is a good thing that I have a whole year to recover!! My 7 yr. old informed us that Six Flags has season passes. I just ignored that remark and got his attention on some yummy cotton candy!! It worked for the moment!! Okay....back to the teacher binder!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I am probably going to change this section. It says Assessments but it really needed to say Student Data. I was creating this notebook at 2am so a mistake or two is expected!! :) This section will contain all of the data that I record on my students. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I really hope that you can pick and choose some items from this notebook to help in creating your own. I can't imagine not having all this information in one spot. It certainly makes my life a little easier. </span> </div>

She was informing me that Mr. Slithers, pictured below, was found in my classroom. No........your eyes are not playing tricks on you, it is indeed a snake.....YIKES!! The second picture shows his hiding place behind my cubbies.....note the tail in the corner.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> That just makes my skin crawl!! I am proud to report that our wonderful custodians captured my little visitor and took care of him, if you know what I mean. Poor little snake.....NOT!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dear Mr. Worker, Next time you prop the door open at the end of the hallway please be sure that you are the only thing entering the school! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am hoping that is how my little friend found his way in and I sure hope he doesn't have any friend that are awaiting their opportunity for a visit! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On a happier note, I thought I would share a few things that I made this summer for my classroom. I saw this super cute idea on pinterest. This is my version of the dry erase picture frame. I found this cool stickable ribbon at Joanns and just had to have it. I also decided to make a mason jar to hold the expo markers. I ran out of ribbon so they don't match.......which is driving me crazy!! Will probably have to fix that soon!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Okay.....so I have been admiring all the wonderful crate seats that you guys have been posting. I just couldn't rest until I had some of my very own. My room has a red, black and white theme. I found these wonderful bandannas at Walmart for $1. I just could not pass them up. They fit my crates perfectly!! Walmart has lots of fun colors in bandannas......you should check it out!!!</span> I only made three seats. I decided to use them in my reading center instead of at my table like many of you did. They are currently storing my math books.....LOVE IT!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am very excited about my new birthday board.

<span style="font-size: large;">I have had the most FUN creating these babies!! I have seen tons of tutorials and projects on covering clipboards. I finally decided to try it out. I am absolutely in love with them. I plan to make a few each day or so until I have a whole class set. This is another project that did not cost me much at all. I again had all the scrapbook paper. I ALWAYS have Modge Podge on hand. The clipboards are my old wore out ones from my classroom (they really needed a makeover). The only thing that I had to purchase was ribbon. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found these for $1 each at The Dollar General. This is wired ribbon which is a little awkward to work with for this project. I just loved the ribbon so much that I decided to buy it anyway and remove the wire. Worked like a charm!!</span> </div>

I am so excited to be joining the world of blogging. I have been blog stalking for a while now and have finally decided to jump on the bandwagon!! I am anxiously awaiting the start of school. It is just around the corner....Yikes!!! I have had so much fun being crafty and stealing so many of your wonderful ideas. I wanted to use my first post to share a few things that I have made for my classroom. <br />
<br />
Last year I had the handy dandy bucket seats but they were very plain and needed a little something extra. I was inspired by a post I saw at Hanging Out in Third Grade Blogspot. You can see what she did <a href="http://hanginoutinthirdgrade.blogspot.com/2011/07/paint-bucket-stools.html">here</a>. I added a coat of paint, some cute ribbon, and voila.......just perfect!!! I have to give credit where credit is due. My very talented sister made my fabric covers. They are super cool. She added elastic so that they just stretch over the bucket. I was able to pull them off and toss them in the washer this summer. Important detail to remember!!! <br />

I have always had a difficult time trying to figure out how to store those pesky clipboards. Well......when I saw the post from Step into Second Grade, I just could not resist the urge to make my own. You can see her creation <a href="http://stepintosecondgrade.blogspot.com/2011/07/getting-crafty.html">here.</a> I was also inspired by Kinder-Craze to fancy up my Sterlite Drawers. You can see her creation <a href="http://kindercraze.blogspot.com/2012/05/fancy-up-your-sterlite-drawers.html">here</a>. She has a wonderful YouTube tutorial that you can view <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHeKvFXSMTE">here</a>. The container on the left was something that I picked up at Walmart in the garden department. I decided to fancy it up for my forever books. <br />
