Friendship Goals

So in case you don't know about this blog I felt it was my duty to educate you:

I discovered her blog when I was going through one of my REALLY rough patches.

She is so similar to me, and has so many of the same thoughts, that I started to wonder if maybe she really WAS me.

Perhaps I was having enough of a psychotic break that I didn't remember starting an entirely new blog.

Then I realized that this girl was a lot funnier than me.

I think that if she and I met it would be the start of a beautiful friendship (As long as she isn't too bubbly and can understand that my face is just my face)

An excerpt from one of her most recent posts that made me laugh:

First year teaching VS. Fifth year teaching

Teaching will be just like Freedom Writers or Dead Poets Society!

Teaching is a mix of Cast Away, Children of the Corn, Mary Poppins, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Star Wars, The Sound of Music, Mr. Holland's Opus, Whiplash, Harry Potter, and Snakes on a Plane.

100% Snakes on a Plane

Awhile ago she also came up with an AMAZING week-long lesson based on "This American Life" which is what I listened to on the way to and from my 38 minute commute to my new job (When I wasn't hysterically sobbing, seething in rage, or listening to Ed Sheeran).

Student Appreciation Week

If you are still teaching and get a chance I would totally suggest looking over her student appreciation week lessons....and the rest of her blog.

Lego Rewards for VIPKid or GoGoKid

So I was looking at the facebook groups today and I saw a lady who's daughter made this for the GogoKid lesson "Apple and Banana" and I thought it was just great! : Every slide (or every time a student does a good job) you could add a few more pieces to creation and have them guess what it is going to be! I started looking up other simple creations that my students always talk about and compiled a short list below! (Each picture is clickable for instructions on how to make them) I am sure that if you have children you already have these Legos rolling around in your house somewhere causing havoc on your feet. However, if you are like me and don't have kids yet, you might need a little bit of a starter kit! Click the images below to see them on Amazon.

Backgrounds for VIPKid and GoGoKid

Okay, so right now this is what my background for my VIPKid and GoGoKid classroom looks like: It's cute and it's colorful, but it is just kind of blah. You guys! I just discovered the coolest thing! Photo backdrops! You can transform your classroom into almost anywhere in the world within seconds and for under $10! Look at all the options! (Click on the pictures to see on Amazon) Those are just some of the backdrops I found within a quick search. Which one do you think I should get for my wall? I have also been doing some research on lighting and I have heard that this is a pretty good setup. Anyone have any other opinions?
