Back to School Eve...

I'm feeling kind of "ugh" tonight about tomorrow...

I guess for me it's just that I want this to be the best school year ever.
I want that every year.
I want my students to get every piece of knowledge and life experience that they are supposed to in middle school.
I want them to love learning and growing.
I want them to enjoy themselves, and feel like walking into my classroom every day is an opportunity, not a chore or a waste of time.
I want them to know that I truly care about them, and that I want them to succeed.
I want the parents to know that I work hard to make my classroom a place that will challenge and nurture successes and failures.
I want to make sure that I am providing what I can to my co-workers, both as a department chair and a colleague.
I want to not fall behind on blogging, because I LOVE collaborating with people all over through this amazing medium made possible by technology.
I want to not forget anything, and I want to keep my ducks in a row, especially since I'm being evaluated with the new Danielson model this year.
Selfishly, I want to make my life easier by being organized, and having everything in its place so that I can find things quickly and efficiently.
I want to ease my own anxiety by planning ahead, so that I can go home at night and relax and enjoy time with my husband and Bella.
Mostly, I want to go home and feel that I have made a difference, otherwise what's the point?

I want a lot of things, and I don't feel bad for wanting them. I don't feel that it is selfish or greedy. My whole life, other than my family, is this job career calling. I don't know if it will ever not be that, because maybe that was the plan all along.

And finally, I want all of you who are starting school soon, or have already started, to also have the best year ever.

Allons-y! :)

    1. It did end up being great! I feel like my to-do list just keeps growing instead of shrinking, but that's typical :) Did you go back today?

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
