Around my classroom

This year, I've been really putting more responsibility on my students to clean the room, do their work the right way, etc. I've keep a bunch of visual prompts and reminders around the room to hold them accountable. Here are a few of my favorites:

What do you think? Do you have any poster ideas I could add? What works for your kids?

Oops. I forgot to blog for a whole year.

Well as usual, I'm not very good at blogging. But here we go again. I'll give it a shot. I'm at the same elementary school where I started out last year. My first year was super crazy and good and terrible and scary and fun and so many more things. I'll try to post about it soon. 

Also, I go back to start a new year tomorrow. I feel 100 times more prepared than I did last year. I actually feel like I might know what I'm doing. I know the people I work with, I know my kids, I know some lesson plans. I'm actually even feeling almost confident enough to possibly present at an art educators conference in November. We'll see. I have to decide and submit a proposal by Friday. 

Additionally, I got married this summer! My kids will now call me Mrs. Fortune. Although I'm pretty sure it's going to take months to convince my kids that had me last year to not call me by my maiden name. But at least my kinders won't know my previous name. 

After all of that, I'll leave you with a photo of a rubric that I made for this year (thanks to Pinterest obviously). 

Until next time!
