Back to School Night School Supply Board

I don't know about you, but on back to school night (open house) I always get a ton of questions about what supplies students should get. I decided that this year I would do something to help reduce those questions! Enter the "School Supply Board"! The board has examples of the supplies I would like my students to have.

I bought a tri-fold board and hot glued the supplies I wanted to that board. It was surprisingly simple and I am quite happy with the result!

Staples Engineering Prints

Last summer I decided that I wanted to re-do my bedroom. I painted the room purple, which i've always wanted to do, but the big thing I wanted was prints for my walls. I did a lot of research and man were prints expensive in the sizes that I wanted! Finally, I learned about Staples Engineering Prints They are super cheap, and actually print really nicely (even though the website claims they are not intended for photos). Take a look at how mine turned out (Don't mind the mess, this was still in the putting back together phase). How I did it: After my prints came in the mail, I went to Lowes and found This . All I did was trace the print on the insulation board, cut it with a regular box cutter, and paint the edges of it with a Paint Sample that accented my walls.

Differentiating in the Secondary English Classroom

Last year I decided that I was ready for a new challenge. I wanted to focus on differentiation as much as possible. For each new topic that was covered in my room I would do a whole group lesson on the topic, generally with a Prezi presentation. Then I would have the students break out into their learning groups and rotate through a list of differentiated activities. Today I am going to walk you through a day (or two) in my classroom teaching figurative language! Before any activities or teaching has started, all of my classes were broken down into different learning groups based on pre-test scores. Each group was assigned a color. This color would correspond to the activities they will complete during independent time. Some of the supplies I use for this: I started the class with a bell ringer from my Bellringers and informed the class that for the next couple of days we would be working on Figurative Language: After we went over the bellringer as a class, I handed out a copy of ...
