#TCEAtots

Hi from Galveston, Peeps!

Our view from our room here at TCEA's Tots and Technology Conference isn't too shabby :) We ate dinner earlier at Landry's on the Seawall and had some GIANT gulf oysters!

I am really looking forward to presenting tomorrow (and some much-needed R&R by the pool)! If you haven't already, Like Kinder Peeps on Facebook to join the conversation...or, tweet to me @kinderpeeps on Twitter and use #TCEAtots!

Peace...love...beach....technology...and TOTS!

BEST Behavior Bundles: Clip Chart, Weekly Behavior Sheet, and Parent Letter

Happy Memorial Day, Peeps!

It has been raining all day here in Austin but we still managed to get some pool time in with Jet when it [briefly] stopped today!  We had a great weekend and Jet got to see his Bebe!

On Saturday night we went and saw Godzilla in 3D with Jarred's mom!  We had to get a quick 3D selfie in, haha!

  

I am so excited about presenting at TCEA's upcoming Tots and Technology Conference in Galveston and hope to have all of my products uploaded by then (FINALLY)! So...those who know me (especially my student teachers) will tell you I have a passion for classroom management and positive reinforcement! I believe it should be our goal as educators to focus on creating a classroom climate that fosters mutual respect and most importantly, draws attention to/promotes positive behaviors. There are many strategies and systems teachers use; I encourage my student teachers to "try them on" and see what works best for their group each year. 

Not using a clip chart system...using Class Dojo this year? You can click the image below to purchase my Editable Parent Letters Introducing Class Dojo...and, be on the look out for MORE DOJO!

Please e-mail me with any questions (kinderpeeps@gmail.com).

Have a wonderful week!  And cheers to SUMMER!

Sweet Summer Time is a Comin'

Hi, Peeps! I hope you all had a nice weekend! This week will be my last week with my UT student teachers. They have all been so wonderful to me this semester and I am going to really miss them. I am confident that they are all going to go out and do big things in the classroom...lucky students will walk through their doors this fall!

After I finish summative evaluations this week, I am going to put the finishing touches on my Tots and Technology presentation...and, start working on my TpT store again! I have missed it so much! If you're looking for a great conference to go to this summer, check this one out...and come see me! I will be leading a session called Do You Dojo? My goal is for attending teachers to walk away feeling confident about using Class Dojo's real-time behavior management system to reinforce positive behaviors in their classrooms this fall.  

Jet took a long nap after church today and I was able to work on a new slideshow...I hope you enjoy it!  He has grown so much and is the sweetest, most easy going baby.  We are so blessed!

Technology + Beach = WIN

Happy Tuesday, Peeps!

I am excited to be presenting at TCEA's Tots and Technology conference this summer!  I presented in 2012 and had a lot of fun networking with other elementary educators (and seeing familiar faces)!  I encourage you all to attend (it's in Galveston right on the beach)!  Click on the image below to register and learn more:

My presentation is going to cover Class Dojo and we are going to have A LOT of fun with it!  You will walk away feeling confident and ready to implement this web-based classroom management system in your classroom.

And...one of my precious little Eagles I taught in Kindergarten last year came to visit us this weekend...I love this picture!  She was on the way to her ranch to make some s'mores!

Enjoy the rest of your week, Peeps!
