Evaluations
Now that school is in full swing, my principal and I are beginning our observations as a part of our new evaluation system. Indiana has put a a new evaluation plan in place, which is rather complex, but the teachers in my building are awesome, and are going along with ALL of it! **Lucky me!**
As I begin entering classrooms, I hesitate a bit because I remember the feeling when someone walked into my room. Sometimes I was ecstatic, because I wanted my principal to see the awesome things happening. Other times, my thoughts were a bit different. As I begin my routing of walk-throughs, observations, etc. I wanted to get your feedback. In one word, how would reflect on your feelings when your evaluator walks in? I'd love to read your comments, since I only know what my feelings were!
Halloween Writing!
My very first unit on TpT was created almost one year ago...and it was awful! I didn't realize it was awful at the time. I actually thought it was great, out of this world, ahh...my first time to use licensed clipart. Holy cow! Ever since then I have improved, edited, and revised. When I looked back at my Halloween Writing unit, I realized how far I've come. When I say this, I don't mean that my cover looks better, or the pages are more creative, but they are designed for real, student work. I revamped my writing unit to make it better for my students, and more thought out. Click on the pic below, check it out, and see what you think!
