Can I get one more follower?, Teachers pay Teachers question, Image question, Award


So exciting!  I just logged in to post about my friend on Teacher pay Teachers and noticed I have 99 followers!! Soooo if I get to 100 I will be forced to whip out another page for my nursery rhyme poetry notebook.  Can you help me??

So what I really logged on to say.  My friend has launched her Teachers pay Teachers store (You beat me to the punch Tracy!) Tracy is my go to person for math.  She has implemented Debbie Diller's math stations in her Kindergarten room and has taught me a thing or 100 about math stations and math talk.  Since she is a newbie, please check her out, download her freebies and please help us learn how to price things.   Constructive criticism is wanted for us TPT newbies. I predict more good things to come.   Check her out here. I  will be opening (hopefully) my store this summer and if all goes well I want to work with her on some fabulous units (possibly for Journeys) so stay tuned....

Another question about blogging.  I have become familiar with image copyrights for TPT, but what about blogging?  For example the lovely 99 image was stolen borrowed from google images.  Can I do that?  Do I need to find the source and ask permission?  Do I need to take it down immediately? Can I just source the source without permission. I usually don't use images that are not my own or passed on from blog to blog but I know that images spice up a blog.  Is it time for me to find a graphic artist?  I never imagined I'd have 100 followers when I  began last July, hooray!

I also need to thank Michelle from Inspired by Kindergarten for this lovely award.  When time allows I will pass more awards on and add to this post.  Thanks Michelle!



Time to pass on the award to these fine blogs.


So, the rules of the "One Lovely Blog Award":
1.  Thank the person who gave it to you and link back to them.
2.  Pass the award on to 15 other bloggers.
3.  Follow the person who sent it to you.

6 weeks of grace!

Here we go. 20th year! 10th year in 2nd grade! Where has the time gone?! Today I want to talk about what I have learned in the last few years (crazy journey we've been on huh?) It is.... Give yourself grace the first 6 weeks of school! I no longer start the first week of school with the mindset that I'm gonna get up early and workout, come home do a load of laundry, cook a healthy meal etc. etc. NOW I tell myself you may not workout for 6 weeks and it's OK, laundry may pile up (I warn my family), I'm not gonna cook much (I warn my family-actually they know by now). I may let myself stay later at school, maybe even a weekend BUT THEN after 6 weeks are up I implement the rest of it back in my life. This is the best advice I can give to young teacher families.  What have you learned about home/work balance??

The teacher has lice :/

You itched your head just reading that didn't you??  Lice does not discriminate.  Anyone can get it.  Even me. So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore.  It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice.  Nice experiment huh?  So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails.  "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home."  I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving?  Yes me!!  Time to freak out.  Please don't do this.  It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise.   If you are reading this because you have li
