I'm linking up with The Teaching Trio for The Sunday Scoop! There it is! Now to go get started on everything I have to do!
Happy Sunday! Today I am linking up with The Teaching Trio with this great Sunday Scoop! Here is my Sunday Scoop! Enjoy: 3 Things I need to do: 1. We just started to implement Jolly Phonics in the second grade. It is completely new to us, and we have been given some professional development on it. However, as any teacher knows, it can be overwhelming sometimes to organize and start to teach something brand new in your classroom! The only bonus is that our students have been receiving this program since kindergarten. So I am just trying to organize my lesson plans that we created as a team, and am trying to create a visual smart board to help when teaching! Happy to say I am half way done, just need to finish up some loose ends! 2. This year, I am teaming up with one of the other second grade teachers and we are creating a second grade news cast! Our students will be in charge of the filming and creating, and we will work with them to put together a final news cast to share with the rest of the school. The students will have the opportunity to interview other students or teachers in the school and come up with their own news segments within their media teams! We finally voted on the name of our news station! Now I just need to create a couple different logos to have the students vote on so we can keep this moving forward! I can't wait to see how cute these turn out to be! 3. I am currently in a cohort for my masters in Teacher Leadership! (This is the first step toward my type 75.) My current class has been put online, and sometimes it can be overwhelming to keep it organized! Every week we have a couple discussion questions due, as well as responses to other students. But then of course this coming week, I also have a paper due, and I am not really sure on what. So it is probably a good idea to organize what I need to get done this week for my class, to make sure it all gets done! 2 Things I hope to do: 1. GET ON TPT! I like to check out the forums and network with other TPT-ers! These last couple of weeks at school has been so busy with new curriculum, coaching basketball, going on a field trip, and just trying to get things done! So I really hope today I can sit down and see what other TPT-ers are doing and do some networking! It is so much fun and I wish I could do it more. 2. RELAX! Yesterday I was up and going all day running errands and getting things done. I got to spend some much needed time with my nieces too! However, it is always nice to have some down time to relax before starting another busy work week! 1 thing I am happy to do: Write this Blog post! Like I said earlier, this school year has just been so busy so far this year. I always feel that once I get ahead, I find another way that I am falling behind! I have not been able to update this blog nearly as much as I would like. So I am very happy to make time to get this done and link up with other great bloggers! I do hope I start to find more time to blog! I have some great activities planned for my classroom that I really want to share with all of you! So fingers crossed I start to get things done so I can share more with you all! Check out all of the other great bloggers linking up with this! Have a great beginning of a new week!

Thanks to Teaching Trio, I'm sharing my Sunday Scoop today: Do you send a letter to your kids to introduce yourself? When I first started, it was via mail and I included a pencil. My district paid for it. Then, we were told email only. Cheaper. So, I've been doing that ever since. No pencil of course but it does save money. I have the pencil waiting for them on their desk when they arrive. I actually send the parents one letter and then email again and write "For My Fabo First Grader" in the subject line so the child can still feel the excitement of getting their own letter. My kids used to LOVE getting their letters from their teachers. Now, it's all about their schedules! Gotta know when lunch is and who's in your lunch period, right? I've had this freebie in my store forever and a complete set of these are LONG overdue. After today, it will FINALLY be in my store! I've added a number line to the bottom and included subtraction. My kids love to use highlighters so I think these will be a hit! My walking has almost come to a screeching halt this summer. Why??? I have no answer! Most people can walk 10,000 steps to reach five miles. Me? Nope. I'm short so I need 13,500 steps before the five miles register. From March-June, I walked almost 5 miles a day. Often 7 miles. I lost 12 pounds! I'm annoyed and disappointed with myself that I slacked off. Sigh. Also added this to John's Store: Interesting Fact: See the picture of Bell holding "something" over "someone" in bed? That "something" is a metal detector (which he created) and that "someone" is President Garfield who was shot. Bell was called upon in an attempt to help save the life of the mortally wounded President using his early version of a metal detector. Surely he could find the slug of an assassin's bullet with his new invention. But to his dismay, the bed Garfield was on was metal so Bell couldn't get an accurate read. He urged doctors to move him out of that bed so he could properly use- and locate- the slug. The doctors refused. Because of their refusal, Garfield died. Many believe if the slug had been found and removed, he would have survived. So now you know!!! John and Matthew are going to see the Mets play today. Sarah and I are going shopping...she leaves for Syracuse University in just nine days. Sniff, sniff. Much to do!! Want to link up and give us your scoop? Click on the button! Have a great Sunday!

Sharing Time- "When I Serve Others, I Serve God" September 2013 Week 4 Service scoop clip art from http://www.frontiernet.net/~...
Schoolhouse Creative Manager Jorie with her partner Trevor at home If you follow this blog, at some point you’ve heard our Creative Manager, Jorie Garcia, weigh in on one of the many topics on which she has deep experience. After ten years developing products and styling homes with Schoolhouse, Jorie is the person we turn to when we have questions on anything from textile manufacturing to home styling to throwing a perfect backyard happy hour. She’s also a fountain of joy and humor in the studio, enlivening each day with her quick wit. What can we say, everyone loves Jorie! This week, Jorie was kind enough to offer our followers a peek inside her space and answer a few questions about her evolving design sensibility, her passion for the art of weaving, and her favorite vintage shops in Portland. Describe your home and decorating sensibility. "For me, the goal of the home should be to reflect the people that live in it. I have a friend that says, 'your home has your face.' It makes me laugh. For that reason, I’m drawn to objects with their own stories to tell. I love an eclectic assortment of objects that coexist in harmony. These things form layers over time. My space is an expression of my life and a capsule of the experiences I have had. When you see that, it’s much easier waiting to buy something you love instead of something to fill a space. There is something really calming about making those decisions in the moment because you know your home will take time, and it will never really be done." Has your style changed after so many years working at Schoolhouse? "I have realized more and more that having style is about creating your own rules. I think over time I’ve started to question the inherited wisdom of what things match, coordinate or complement each other. The longer I have been at Schoolhouse, the more I am confident about my space being a reflection of me and my personality. My time at Schoolhouse has helped me to train my eye and trust my gut. I don’t need to follow rules or feel like I need to do what other people are doing, I need to listen to myself and know my home is where I return to be re-energized and be inspired. I want my home to inspire me to do more and be better. This helps me set the intention to go after what brings me joy and be confident with my sense of self." You’re something of a textile nerd. What are some of your favorite woven pieces in your home? "Nerd with a capital N. Where to begin... the wool woven coverlet purchased on an antiquing trip that we used as the jumping off point for the Winter + Summer Cotton Coverlet; the traditional textiles from a trip to Portugal; my vintage cotton blanket from Kat + Maouche in Portland, which is a company excited about telling the story of the maker and celebrating craft and tradition." Wall hanging is an original weaving by Jorie What’s an underrated style or design movement that you enjoy? "Sometimes I think the most underrated styles come at the margins. The eclectic artist. A Sicilian grandmother. Quirk and humor aren’t always associated with design, but are integral to my style. I am also excited that there is a call to quality. For example, I’m excited about the renewed appreciation for Shaker design. There’s something timeless about celebrating the importance of material and the skill that comes from really understanding the materials being used." What’s an overrated one? An overrated style is going after the look of something over the feeling it provokes in you. Objects and space are similar to a well-cooked meal: you can taste the care and consideration one takes when preparing a meal with love. I believe one can experience the same care with objects and space. Good intentions can’t be faked. It almost seems like you don’t own anything new, but that can’t be the case, can it? How often do you purchase something brand new off the shelf for your home, and what kind of things excite you enough to do so? "The majority of what we have in the home is either vintage or Schoolhouse. There are some items that we have built ourselves—my bed frame, for example. If I’m going to buy something new, it will probably be something unassuming that solves a practical problem. One really exciting thing about being behind the scenes at Schoolhouse is being involved with a development for nine-plus months in advance of a product launch. By the time pieces are available for purchase I have known for months that I want to take it home with me. I think it also helps me edit purchasing new items because I can quickly analyze their life cycle. If I don’t see wanting it in a few years, I don’t need it now." Do you have any secret thrift shops or flea markets in Portland you’d be willing to share? "Twist my arm. I have some spots. I have to say that the Marie Kondo documentary has increased available stock at thrift stores and specialty spots. I love Red Snapper, Artifact, Goodwill, occasionally popping onto Craigslist, Stars Antique Malls and Urbanite. I also have family in the Midwest and spend most time visiting antique malls with day trips throughout Michigan and Indiana." Finally, what’s an ideal weekend at home like for you? "It is really important for me to make time to exercise my creative interest, so spending time sewing, reading or weaving on my loom. Simple moments are also important, like morning walks on the beach with my pup and breakfast at home, or perhaps a backyard dinner with friends and magically sleeping in the next morning. Rinse, lather, repeat." Shop the space Photography by Ellie Lillstrom
