Peek at my Week-do overs and writing..Link up!

We had two snow days last week!  Can I get an A-MEN?

So my lesson plans are a little different next week but I am leaving my stations the same.   We expect more snow this week and I suspect we will be out again.   Brace yourself... this post is LONG!  

Anyhow, during these snow days, I have been preparing for this!

I am presenting one day!  Yay! and Oy!

Are anyone of you going?   If so, do you own pom-poms that you can bring??

Anyhoo... in preparing for this conference I have been scanning writing samples and reviewing video.   If you ever start to feel like you know what you *might* be doing... video tape yourself... so humbling!

During the video tapes, I started to REALLY listen in to my language (and the child break dancing in the background).   I asked myself, "Am I teaching with precision?"   "Am I concise?"

Here is my challenge to you:   Take your iPhone out the next time you confer with a student.  There is a little voice recorder on it (they have one for Android too). Record a few of your conferences.  Listen to it.  Where do you need to add precision?  Will you let me know if you try it?

Onward!

After I recovered from my low of seeing my man-hands on video, I remembered this awesome piece and smiled.  He has garnered a lot of knowledge on how books work.

Here is another one that made me smile (hmm...I wonder why?)

I assure you the feeling is very mutual my sweet friend!

Speaking of Dojo [you can read my post about it here]... we are using these cute cards as our rewards.

I bought this at the beginning of the year and we LOVE them!!!

Are you still with me?

Here are my lesson plans!

Have a healthy and happy week!
