Wheel of Names

 Good morning everyone!  I hope you have been battling through and hanging in there with teaching the way it is now!  REMEMBER - YOU MATTER - and the impact you are having is still as strong as ever!  KEEP THAT IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND:)!!

I am not sure if you have seen the website Wheel of Names, but if you haven't CHECK IT OUT:)!!  My fellow bookstagrammer and I use it all the time for random name picks, giveaways, etc.. BUT recently,  one of our Kindergarten teachers, Mrs. Willers, asked if I would created "spinners" for her of their sight words.  BRILLIANT:)!!!


Basically,  I made two spinners with eight words on each one; one spinner has the words lower case, the other spinner has the first word capitalized.  I did this for each list that they have (currently I have made 10 of the 30).  The kids can then use these for practicing their sight words:)!!

It's SO easy to use!  You just type in, or copy and paste, the list of words that you want and then the spinner is automatically created!  You can then "share" this link for the words for kids to spin on their own.   What a great way to practice sight words, and a little different than the traditionally word rings that are usually send home OR in addition to the rings;)!

You can click HERE to see the lists and what exactly Mrs. Willers had me do - SO FUN!!

Take care all - remember how special you are and the impact you're making even though it feels otherwise - the kids NEED us now more than ever - and YOU need to take care of yourself as well - our mental health is so very important!

Happy Monday -

Mrs. I:)

Resources Compiled for COVID-19

Here is a PLETHORA of resources that I have been compiling as we are dealing with teaching during COVID-19.  Use what you can - search and seek - I am going to just COPY AND PASTE - so the links might not be active:) Video/Podcast Options: Zoom!: This program allows you to video conference with up to 100 people.  HOWEVER, I feel this one is NOT the best for large groups, BUT, would be awesome to do with one on one or small group work, or recording videos to upload to Schoology.  Create an account and download this to your Macbook here, https://zoom.us/ and the students will have the app. Zoom How To: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-fnwZGctrFlE-Ho8Y5C_v8Hit7KdSnvW Explain Everything App : You can teach just about anything you would want, especially math, with this app.  This app allows you to import pictures, files, etc.. and then voice over it, even drawing if needed, to create a video.  Simply upload to YouTube, share the link and done!!

I LIED!!! I TAKE THE THANK YOU TO APPLE BACK:(!!! UGH!!!

  All went well yesterday after we had done the Apple Configurator update - here were a few that we had to put into recovery mode, etc... which wasn't GREAT- but worked alright.  Students had to put in email address again as well as Schoology, no big deal.  Some lost their camera roll pictures - not the TOTAL end of the world.  But TODAY - 5 kids have LOST EVERYTHING!!! UGH!!  I don't do ANYTHING different with these iPads that I don't do with the others that have worked fine - so WHY?????????????  A senior girl and a freshman boy lost EVERYTHING!  It COMPLETELY WIPED their iPads and reinstalled ALL again - WHY???????????  I want to call Apple but I am TOO MAD to call as I wouldn't be anything tactful at all - so I sit and ponder what it might be - maybe I should use another word than Ponder, I guess they're throwing him back in next week, huh??:):)  I just don't know what to do.  AND the part that gets me the MOST is Apple KNOWS that sc...
