Walk Up Music: The Beginning

For a variety of reasons, including the fact there are so many players and teams, I don't keep up with MLB. The most interest I've ever had in baseball was the first season a single A team started in Lexington.  

 Probably had a little something to do with the fact the players were all close to my age and cute.  But I digress... 

Anyway, I am not a fan of much of MLB except the walk up music. So much so that I've started using walk up music as part of my morning routine going into the building. Yes, it's silly and unnecessary, but it does add a bit of color into an other wise mundane part of the day.  

Because I love to share my knowledge and expertise in pretty much any endeavor (any wonder my father calls me bossy?), I submit to you the walk up songs of this past week.  Play 'em as you walk in-it definitely makes an early morning a little more bearable. :)

Monday: "Girls (Run the World)"-Beyonce 

Tuesday: "I Am a Seed"-David Crowder

Wednesday: "9 to 5"-Dolly Parton

Thursday: "One Day More"-Les Miserables Soundtrack

Friday: "One Moment In Time" -Whitney Houston (it was picture day-how else can one commemorate it?)

Got any suggestions? I'd love to hear 'em!

The Upside to Breaking Down

There are many perks to being a resident of the Bluegrass State, but one of the definite downsides has to be the fact that you're landlocked.  While Kentucky has its share of beautiful lakes (one of which is in the county where I live), we are not blessed with salt scented air, sandy beaches, gorgeous water, or waves.   Photo:  http://www.vectortemplates.com/   So should one have a hankering for salt scented air, sand, clear water, or waves, you must traverse outside Kentucky.   And while every personality test I've ever taken scores me as a 99th percentile extrovert (which strikes me as accurate as my mother began refusing to go shopping with me because, "you know too many people and have to talk to everyone and it takes forever to get out of Walmart"), I genuinely treasure time to myself.  Probably because I was an only child for five years, but it is no big deal for me to do stuff like supper, movies, or even going to the bathro...

Tell All Tablets: A Forever Freebie for Back to School

In the interest of authenticity, I’ll say it: I like glyphs.  There.  I've admitted it and I’m not taking it back. I think they're a fun way to get in reading comprehension (or listening comprehension if your students are not yet readers), add some color to a boring day, and learn about your students.  And let's not forget that glyphs hang on one crucial skill: following directions.  However, it has been my experience that the higher the grade, the fewer glyph options available.  Also, STEM is such a massive trend at the moment anything else seems to have fallen to the wayside.  I’m seeking to remedy this. The “Tell All Tablets” are a glyph intended for older students (such as grades 3-5), though they could be used with younger students.  (Yes, I am aware I don't need the auxiliary before "Tell All Tablets".  However, I am from the South and we like to hear ourselves talk, so that necessitates throwing in an unnecessary word in here or there...
