I AM A TOY!

This has been a year of firsts. I was voted Most Inspirational 8th grade teacher by the student body for 8th grade. I have now been voted a TOY, Teacher of the Year for my campus. Just click on toy and check it out. I was very surprised. No more like "Are you sure you have the right person?" surprised. Amazing.

STAAR TEST WORRIES

WELL, I am going to try and keep up with this blog. It seems I never have time throughout the year to do so. I am ten days from STAAR testing in History. I am praying that my students are able to pass the test. They have worked hard and seem like they are ready, however, you never know. Especially with this being a new test. One of my favorite sites for my students is Colonial Williamsburg. This gives an interesting overview for the kids and interactive activities. Another is Hippocampus. The hippocampus website has the testbook online and will even read it for you. A few months ago when we were studying Westward Expansion I had the students create Diorama's of a scene from Lewis and Clarks "Corps of Discovery" Journey. Here are a few pictures above of how they turned out. The overall project worked out well. Well that's all for this post! Enjoy Life, it's an adventure.
