Well we just finished up Canadian Thanksgiving and it was FABULOUS! So many yummy treats...too much turkey and mashed potatoes but totally worth it.I'm linking up with DoodleBugs for Five For Friday.1. Now that Canadian Thanksgiving is over I'm back on the diet bandwagon. The hubs and I are doing a Christmas challenge. Our goal is to eat at a deficit from now until Christmas and to work out 3 times per week. We both track our food on the app My Fitness Pal. In the ... Read the Post
Graphing! Five for Friday…
A Writing Strategy and a Spooktacular Giveaway!
I've been sharing a lot of writing tips lately but that's because my school is really focused on writing so naturally I am as well.The strategy I'm going to share today can actually apply to any subject!For the second year in a row my teaching team and I have been giving students individual learning goals. We present our overall learning goal to our students as well as the success criteria (I can statements). There are usually around 5 statements we are working on. We found ... Read the Post
Writing Ideas BINGO!
I'm happy to be able to share this great idea that has helped me to motivate student writing.This week in our writer's notebooks we were working on the ideas trait.

There are so many fantastic ideas in this book for teaching writing and each idea I have tried has been a hit with my students.The lesson I did earlier this week was for ... Read the Post
Oh sweet Friday, how I love thee…

I usually can't wait to get home so I can get my comfy clothes on and put my feet up (which is what I'm doing right now!)My kids are all playing nicely, the hubs has his earphones in because he's doing "course work" (AKA watching youtube videos while pretending to work)...hopefully this lasts long enough for me to write my blog post!I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs to share 5 random things from my week. ...

Boooo hisssssss.I did manage to get all these ones out but a bunch of them are missing pieces (and of ... Read the Post
Using Class Dojo in the Classroom
Yup, that's the kind of week it's been.I feel like I don't even have to explain because teachers seem to just get it. I can sense all of you nodding your heads in agreement. When another teacher asks if it's a full moon, we all know what they mean! Moving on (with my adult beverage in hand)... As you may have read before, I started using the App "Class Dojo" this year. It's going pretty well but I felt my kids really needed a visual reminder for how they were doing and what they are ... Read the Post
