Happy August and Link-Up!

I thought today I would share my Erin Condren items that I've gotten for the upcoming school year and give you a chance to share yours!



I have become quite addicted, and this year I've purchased a new Teacher Planner, after beating the heck out of mine from last year, the Lunchbox, some Notepads, and Labels!

Last year, I chose the Owl Planner and Calendar, and my whole room ended up themed around Owls.



Here's what my planner looked like by the end of the year.



Not so pretty.


Loved the calendar, but the new two page calendar is so much better!


My favorite thing about it is the lesson planning pages!

To be honest, I got a little sick of them, so I went for the plaid this time.
So shiny and new!

I opted to put in the picture on the inside cover this time, so happy with it!

Laminated tabs in this edition

2 Page calendar and the stickers actually fit now! :)

Labels to put on my stuff...

And some notepads


My BFF Jess gave me a gift card to EC for my birthday, so I splurged and ordered a lunchbox.





Can you tell I love that picture? :)


Of course, I couldn't have a fancy new planner without some other accessories... So I busted out the Silhouette Cameo and made a clipboard and water bottle, and then splurged at the Coach outlet for something to put it all in, as well as a new lanyard. I'm really in to greens of all shades this year!

Before the School Year Begins...

I decided that before I can start posting about what I'm doing this year, I needed to share some of my favorite strategies from last year that went really well with the students. I was completely inspired by Kelly Gallagher after reading devouring all of his books at the beginning of the school year! I had the opportunity to go to a Kelly Gallagher workshop at Judson this spring, and it was absolutely amazing! He was so nice when I went up to him (I was terrified and starstruck), and even wrote "You're Welcome" on this piece of paper, because my students actually asked me to THANK HIM for changing the way we read novels in class.  Students + asked me + to say thank you to an author + about school stuff = UTOPIA! Here are some of my abbreviated notes from the day: His TOP Points: Kids should write 4X more than you can physically grade  Students suffer from word poverty. Must get students reading more in order to be exposed to vocabulary. We ne

Writing Notebook: Finishing up "Write Ideas" and first Invitation: AAAWWUBBIS!

Happy Monday!! Today I am continuing on with the Writer's Notebook! Last time I left off, students had just finished their "100 Things I Love". After that, students completed their writing territories, which I got from Nancie Atwell's book   Lessons That Change Writers.  We spent the first day discussing writing territories out loud, going through the list in detail, so that students had ideas of what to write about. I told them to think of it like the caption for a picture. One to two sentences that could become something more. Students had to complete this for homework. We also completely numbered our table of contents so that we could add in sections and start working in other parts of the notebook.  Students wrote their writing territories on these pages. Then we moved on to the Writer's Eye (I). Students had to place terms that described them within their "I" or around their "Eye". I created my o
