Teacher Self-evaluations.... Oh MY!!

This week our teacher self evaluations are due.....  I'm sort of at a loss on what else to say!!!  I feel in just stating the fact that our self-evaluations are due is enough!!! Soooo enough said!!! :)

Technology that WORKS!!

This week has been a test on getting the technology to work in our classrooms!!  My poor teachers have been struggling to get either their computers, Smartboards and anything else that involves technology to actually work!! Sometimes I feel that any minute I'm going to see computers come flying out of classrooms!! In the end no matter how frustrated we get, at least we can laugh with each other (even though I know our students are laughing AT us!).  I'm hoping that the week can only get better and hope that we are not tempted to destroy the technology that we have now!! Keep your fingers crossed!!! :)

Whew! Is it June Yet??

Here we are working on the 2nd full week of school and all I can think is "Is it June yet?"  LOL!!! It seems like everyone is struggling with getting back into the groove of things, but I continue to hope that my class and I will fall into our routine and get going!!!

On another note!!  I wanted to share with everyone an App that I use called Splashtop.  I love love love this app because it allows me to control my computer and Smartboard with my ipad!!! You do have to pay for the App (I think its $3.99) and download the program into your computer (which is free), but once you have it you are ready to go and I cannot tell you enough how much it is worth the cost!!  I can be at my desk or anywhere in my room and have complete control of my computer and Smartboard without being anywhere near it!! Check it out if you get a chance!!! :)

Back to School!

Hello Everyone!

I've decided to continue with my Bilingual Blog page!  I am a bilingual teacher at Millville public schools and am very excited to be started off a new year with my students.  I teach 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students in varying levels of learning the English language.  I have so much fun with my students and they always give me a reason to laugh everyday.  These first few days have been about getting used to the routine, welcoming new students into our class "family" and learning the different programs that we use with technology.  One of my favorites is Reflex Math which helps students work on their math fluency.  They are loving the program and just having fun being in school!  The best thing about the program is that it is available in English, Spanish and French!!
